 akonadi has this variant:

 {{{
 variant mysql description "Build the Akonadi server" {
     depends_lib path:${prefix}/bin/mysqld:mysql5-devel
 }
 }}}

 A few issues:

  1. Variables are not expanded in depspecs, and "${prefix}/" is prepended
 to non-absolute paths in path:-style depspecs, so the dependency should be
 on "path:bin/mysqld:mysql5-devel"
  2. Earlier in the port it says "depends_lib         port:qt4-mac" so
 shouldn't the mysql variant append to depends_lib instead of overwriting
 it?
  3. The variant only adds a dependency. It does nothing to ensure that the
 port will not use mysql5 if the variant is not selected (via e.g. a
 configure argument like (I'm just guessing here) "--without-mysql" which
 would be used by default and removed in the mysql variant and changed to
 "--with-mysql").
