 Yes I presume so too as the install then started to work only stopping at
 the current point.

 > Which MySQL do you have installed? MacPorts does not use libraries you
 have installed separately. If you want to use MySQL with something from
 MacPorts, you probably want to uninstall any MySQL you manually installed,
 then "sudo port install mysql5" (if you want the MySQL client) and "sudo
 port install mysql5-server" (if you want a MySQL server).

 At the time MySQL 5.0.45 (as I mentioned I have now manually upgraded to
 5.1.41). Maybe I am not understanding how best to use Macports: I was
 assuming that it would be able to upgrade from a previous version (of
 MySQL) that I had installed manually prior to installing and using
 Macports. From your statement, I am now thinking that Macports is used to
 install an initial version and will then subsequently keep it up to date.

 No /opt/local/lib/libz.dylib does not exist.

 port contents zlib returns:
 Port zlib contains:
   /opt/local/include/zconf.h
   /opt/local/include/zlib.h
   /opt/local/lib/libz.a
