>>> Actually, I do not care about which version of the databases the port depends on, which are installed either inside or outside of MacPorts. Especially, PostgreSQL 9.0.4 is pre-installed on Lion (10.7.2), and I think we do not have to install it with MacPorts all the way.

I added several variants to use MacPorts version of database libraries, such as +mysql, +postgresql, +postgresql90, +postgresql84. Committed in r87364.
