New description:

 I found that I had to do the following to get mysql5 running after
 install:

 {{{
     sudo mkdir -p /opt/local/var/db/mysql5
     sudo mysql_install_db5
     sudo chown -R mysql /opt/local/var/db/mysql5
 }}}

 And then run it with:

 {{{
     sudo mysqld_safe
 }}}

 I was not able to find this in the man page nor in the output from “sudo
 port install mysql5” — I think it would be nice to have the latter output
 a note like the above.
