It means that you are
  trying to install `p5-ExtUtils-CBuilder-0.28.02.12nb1',
and
  Installed package perl-5.20.0nb1' conflicts with 
`p5-ExtUtils-CBuilder<0.28.02.16

i.e. perl-5.20.0nb1 contains ExtUtils::CBuilder module version 0.28.02.16,
and p5-ExtUtils-CBuilder-0.28.02.12nb1 is older than it, no need to be 
installed.

Yes, some packages are still older than perl-5.20.0 core modules, so
those package should be updated to latest version (or removed from pkgsrc).
