What you have installed should ideally have no bearing on making an
INDEX. What will affect the INDEX are settings in your /etc/make.conf
or similar and various OPTIONS choices that can modify the dependency graph.
However there are still some ports that will set some dependency to
whatever version of a program they can find has been installed. This
works fairly well if you're always building from ports directly on the
machine where the software will be deployed, but it really doesn't help
when you're installing packages built elsewhere.
I thought however that MySQL wasn't one of these, and the dependency
version choice is entirely controlled by whatever the setting in
DEFAULT_VERSIONS was.
