Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 Replying to [comment:11 knightcode1@…]:
 > I have the binary package at /Applications/mysql-5.5.9-osx10.6-x86/, and
 it seems to be self contained there. The unix socket and data folders are
 all created in separate folders.

 You should probably decide whose MySQL you want to use (MacPorts' or
 mysql.com's) and uninstall the other. It will reduce confusion.

 Having anything installed in /usr/local while using MacPorts is
 unsupported because of the many and various problems it can cause.
