I've got other ports running and thus don't have a chance at the moment to download and install mysql5-server, but the stock install includes the following:
if test -z "$basedir" then basedir="/usr" bindir="/usr/bin" mysqld="/usr/libexec/mysqld" pkgdatadir="/usr/share/mysql" else As the post-destroot patches don't appear to change this. Maybe the next thing to try is to set --basedir to /opt/local and probably set --datadir as well and generally check the documentation for the command you've been asked to invoke.
