These were the two bursts of "skipping" ... first for MySQL5 then for  
php5. I presume that when I upgrade Apache later on to 2.2.13 and if  
I'm careful to remember the --enforce-variants option, that one will  
be solved.

Warning: Skipping upgrade since openssl 0.9.8k_0 >= openssl 0.9.8k_0,  
even though installed variants "" do not match "+darwin". Use 'upgrade  
--enforce-variants' to switch to the requested variants.
Warning: Skipping upgrade since readline 6.0.000_1 >= readline  
6.0.000_1, even though installed variants "" do not match "+darwin".  
Use 'upgrade --enforce-variants' to switch to the requested variants.

Warning: Skipping upgrade since bzip2 1.0.5_2 >= bzip2 1.0.5_2, even  
though installed variants "" do not match "+darwin". Use 'upgrade -- 
enforce-variants' to switch to the requested variants.
Warning: Skipping upgrade since apache2 2.2.11_0 >= apache2 2.2.11_0,  
even though installed variants "+darwin_9" do not match "+darwin 
+darwin_9". Use 'upgrade --enforce-variants' to switch to the  
requested variants.
