Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 It does check ${prefix}/etc/mysql5/my.cnf, but all versions of
 MySQL—MacPorts', the official binaries, etc.—also check /etc/my.cnf.
 That's how MySQL is documented to function—see the paragraph beginning "On
 Unix, Linux and Mac OS X, MySQL programs read startup options from the
 following files, in the specified order" in
 [http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/option-files.html the MySQL
 documentation]—so I don't know that we should change it in MacPorts.
