mysql4: is going away.

mysql5-devel: should probably be replaced_by mysql55 for now.

mysql5: will be replaced_by mysql51 when the dependencies have been dealt with.

mysql51: no longer conflicts.

mariadb: I have updated to version 5.5.23 and no longer installs the conflicting bin/.*5 symlinks.
I am not the maintainer of mariadb nor is it openmaintainer and a discussion with the maintainer has been ongoing.
I do not recall where we are here I'll have to check.

percona: same as mariadb but is openmaintainer

mysql{4,5{,-devel}}: These are going away
mariadb,perconadb: These will no longer conflict

mysql4: Consensus is to obsolete
mysql5: will be replace_by mysql51 and should close to seamless. etc/mysql{5,51} and var/db/mysql{5.51} are two issues to consider. Ideas welcome.

Yes.

To finish implementing the above the mysql5 dependent ports at minimum need to be updated to mysql51 and preferably have variants or subports for the mysql51, mysql55, mariadb and percona ports.
