Comment (by pixilla@…):

 All the MacPorts mysql database ports by default use different a
 "datadir". Did you create the mysql56 datadir by running the
 mysql_install_db script as the mysql56-server notes suggest?

 {{{
 port notes mysql56-server
 }}}

 These steps should get you a functional mysql56 server:

 {{{
 $ sudo port install mysql56-server
 $ sudo -u _mysql /opt/local/lib/mysql56/bin/mysql_install_db
 $ sudo port load mysql56-server
 $ /opt/local/lib/mysql56/bin/mysql
 mysql> show databases;
 mysql> quit;
 }}}
