Comment:

 `/opt/local/var/run/mysql8` should be automatically installed by the
 `mysql8` port.

 After installation, there are install notes that tell you what commands
 you can run to initialize the data directory.

 You can see those notes anytime by doing `port notes mysql8-server`

 Since you manually created that directory yourself
 (`/opt/local/var/run/mysql8`), that might interfere with `port` trying to
 manage it.

 I recommend you fully uninstall, `selfupdate`, delete any manually created
 directories with `sudo` if `port` complains about it, reinstall, then
 follow the post-install notes.

 - `sudo port uninstall mysql8 mysql8-server`
 - `sudo port selfupdate`
 - `sudo port install mysql8-server`
 - follow the post-install notes

 I will close this ticket, but you can reopen with logs if you continue to
 run into issues.
