OK, I see why it doesn't work. This was mentioned previously. We set
LDFLAGS/CPPFLAGS (and other variables) in the environment, which
breaks the following command:

mysql_config5 --libs $LDFLAGS

Normally LDFLAGS is empty, so it doesn't affect this. Anyway, easy
enough fix to patch-configure ....

+	LDFLAGS=`/opt/local/bin/mysql_config5 --libs $LDFLAGS`
+	CPPFLAGS=`/opt/local/bin/mysql_config5 --include $CPPFLAGS`

should be

+	LDFLAGS=`/opt/local/bin/mysql_config5 --libs` $LDFLAGS
+	CPPFLAGS=`/opt/local/bin/mysql_config5 --include` $CPPFLAGS

That should get things working, to some extent. I have some other
complaints about your Portfile, but let's get this thing compiling
first. :)
