If I'm not completely mistaken: I doupt that it will ported. on
metacpan.org the module is marked as deprecated:

 ZeroMQ - A ZeroMQ2 wrapper for Perl (DEPRECATED)

 Please note that this module has been DEPRECATED in favor of
 ZMQ::LibZMQ2, ZMQ::LibZMQ3, and ZMQ. [...]

I think libzeromq-perl thus might be better a candidate to be removed
from the archive. Removal means:

----cut---------cut---------cut---------cut---------cut---------cut-----
carnil at coccia:~$ dak rm --suite=sid -n -R libzeromq-perl
Will remove the following packages from sid:

libzeromq-perl |     0.23-1 | source
libzeromq-perl |  0.23-1+b1 | arm64, mips64el, ppc64el
libzeromq-perl |  0.23-1+b3 | amd64, armel, armhf, i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc
libzeromq-perl |  0.23-1+b5 | s390x
