grep: Perl matching not supported in a --disable-perl-regexp build

Description

Updated from grep @3.7_2 to grep @3.8_0 and now some of my scripts and cronjobs are failing with 

grep: Perl matching not supported in a --disable-perl-regexp build

GNU compatibility is a large part of why I use MacPorts; this departure is surprising

Was this intentionally removed? And intentionally not made available with a variant?
