Comment(by milosh@…):

 I had a look at mysql-server and postgresql-server ports. We can indeed
 create a new user and make the startupitem use this user. The only
 undoable thing is "Uninstalling or deactivating mpd should remove the user
 from the system." as macports still has no "post-deactivate" hooks. Do you
 consider having a unused "_mpd" user a big problem?
