New description:

 After installing mysql57:

 {{{
 # port select mysql mysql57
 Selecting 'mysql57' for 'mysql' failed: could not create new link
 "/opt/local/man/man1/mysql-stress-test.pl.1.gz": target
 "/opt/local/share/man/mysql57/man1/mysql-stress-test.pl.1.gz" doesn't
 exist
 }}}

 Indeed, /opt/local/share/man/mysql57/man1/mysql-stress-test.pl.1.gz does
 not exist and 'port contents mysql57' does not show it. This would be
 harmless if the single missing file was tolerated and the 'select'
 procedure continued, but instead this appears to abort the whole process,
 leaving everything after the missing file in the list unlinked. Ultimately
 there are 6 missing files, so a really ugly workaround is to create them
 before  running 'port select mysql mysql57' :

 {{{
 touch /opt/local/share/man/mysql57/man1/mysql-stress-test.pl.1.
 touch /opt/local/share/man/mysql57/man1/mysql-test-run.pl.1.gz
 touch /opt/local/share/man/mysql57/man1/mysql_client_test.1.gz
 touch /opt/local/share/man/mysql57/man1/mysql_client_test_embedded.1.gz
 touch /opt/local/share/man/mysql57/man1/mysqltest.1.gz
 touch /opt/local/share/man/mysql57/man1/mysqltest_embedded.1.gz
 }}}

 I have not figured out which port this problem is  in or whether it is in
 the underlying build failing to create the files.
