I get the following problems when trying to build databases/adminer:-

I have perl 5.28.1 installed. What should I do? Can I add perl 5.28.2 to /etc/make.conf?

No, you should update your ports so your installed Perl is 5.28.2.

According to Freshports lang/perl5.28 5.28.2 seems to be available, but when I run pkg install perl5, I'm told

The most recent version of packages are already installed

, but I have 5.28.1.

Also this change to /etc/make.conf made no difference-
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= php=7.3 perl=5.28.1

Are you using the quarterly repositories? Mixing packages and custom built ports always has its pitfalls, but when using a current ports tree, you should at least use the current package repositories as well.

Simple and recommended solution would be to build perl from the ports tree as well.

You may want to do portsnap fetch {install/update} first.

Thanks for the suggestion...

I changed /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf to use 'latest' rather than 'quarterly' and it works now.

Don't edit that file. Create a /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf for it. The /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf is likely to get overwritten when you update undoing your changes.

FreeBSD: {
  url: .....
}

This is all it needs to contain. Just the URL as that's the only thing that needs to be overridden.
