Ryan,
I think it's ok for you to do the modifications you think are necessary.
The whitespace differences must come from my using emacs and its tcl mode,
that I'm very fond of. You could put yourself as a maintainer there also!
I don't think it would be a good idea to make any port depend on any
-devel port. In this case, MySQL is approaching a 5.1 release proper, but
there may be some changes still. I expect 5.0 and 5.1 releases to be
binary compatible, which is why I think 5.0.* ports won't be maintained
after 5.1 release. This is not the case with PostgreSQL the
incompatibility being the reason for ports 8.0, 8.1, &c.
BTW, Linux -devel packages are for entirely different purpose, they are
meant to include files for development with the packages, e.g. header
files.
