remove existing applications?

[John Korchok]

You don't have to remove anything. The MacPorts versions are separate from
the others you may or may not have installed and you can use them
independently. By the same token, all the software that you want to use with
MacPorts MySQL should also be installed with MacPorts: Apache, PHP, ruby,
etc.
