Comment(by ryandesign at macports.org):

 Are you ''sure'' the problem was relative vs. absolute symlinks? Because
 your proposed solution of `ln -sf /opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/$a
 /opt/local/bin/$a` does not do the equivalent of what is in the Portfile.
 What the Portfile does is the equivalent of `ln -sf
 /opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/$a /opt/local/bin/$a5` -- note the "5" at the
 end of every link in /opt/local/bin. Can you please show me exactly the
 error message you're encountering, and what I need to type here to see it
 on my system?
