In /usr/local/bin I have cisco vpn_client, wireshark, oodiff, some tcl  
binaries and gfortran. The oodiff I dropped in there as a convenient  
location on the PATH, but I don't remember the provenance of the tcl  
or gfortran. In /usr/local I have mysql, 5.1.35 and 5.1.37.

Everything except the oodiff would have been placed there as part of  
the maker's distribution.

I assume you would recommend replacing the mysql (64 bit  
distributions) with the MacPorts versions. I also have a  
MySqlWorkbench.app in Applications. I can't remember where that came  
from, but I assume it will continue to work with a MacPorts mysql.
