Yeah. :(

Ports that depend on mysql5 should do so in a way that mysql5-devel  
would be able to satisfy the dependency too, since they should be  
compatible. php5 does do this. But there seems to be a bug when  
upgrading ports that pulls in the original mysql5 dependency instead  
of allowing the installed mysql5-devel to satisfy it. This may have  
been fixed in MacPorts 1.8? I'm not sure.

For now, you can upgrade ZendFramework without following dependencies:

port -n upgrade ZendFramework
