MacPorts doesn't care about the versions. The amarok port declares its dependency on MySQL thus:

path:lib/mysql5/libmysqld.a:mysql5

This means any port that provides /opt/local/lib/mysql5/libmysqld.a satisfies the dependency. If the file is not installed, MacPorts tries to install the mysql5 port.

Does your mysql5-devel port provide this file?
