I don't think that I can fix this - there is no ebuild for perlmagick, which is what's confusing the cpan parsing here (perlmagick is built from imagemagick via the use flag, but that's not the same). patches welcome, but g-cpan isn't 100% guaranteed (just a close 90% ;)
a long time ago I suggest use equery (or similar) method at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119202 what you think about it now ?
I talk about homeland portage # equery b Gentoo/UI/Console.pm [ Searching for file(s) Gentoo/UI/Console.pm in *... ] app-portage/g-cpan-0.15_rc2 (/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/Gentoo/UI/Console.pm) homeland portage # grep Gentoo/UI/Console.pm /var/db/pkg/*/*/CONTENTS /var/db/pkg/app-portage/g-cpan-0.15_rc2/CONTENTS:obj /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/Gentoo/UI/Console.pm ca35ccca51d7fbd26c0cbb543efb0664 1171274779 grep more quickly

You are right this idea not panacea but in most cases would help
Mostly resolved by performing a simple lookup table of CPAN name to Ebuild name for those cases that don't match. At least PerlMagick won't be generated any more, but instead a dep will point at media-gfx/imagemagick
