I have zero experience with perforce or fetching from it with a recipe, but 
looking at the fetcher code (bitbake/lib/bb/fetch2/perforce.py) it looks like 
the SRC_URI syntax is:

p4://user:password:host:port at path

Unfortunately it looks like you also need to set FETCHCOMMAND_p4 in your 
configuration as well since there is no default for this. Something like 
"/usr/bin/env p4" might work.

Cheers,
Paul
