I'm a UNIX Systems Administrator by background, with virtually zero DBA experience. (And the little I had was with Ingress under VMS, long ago.)All of the documentation at dev.mysql.com I can find is for Leopard.

I would imagine most of your problems would be solved if you did "port install mysql5-server". "mysql5" is just the client libraries, which are required by lots of other things that don't necessarily care about a local server.
