Thanks for the info. I agree with your concluding diagnosis about possibly a rogue my.cnf somewhere. As I said, I have done my best to clean my system, but I will continue to do so.

I did not know that every system will treat mysqld differently. That is good to know. However, that information just adds to the mystery. My system is a bread and butter Mac OS X version 10.6.6.
Not *every* system. But it differs based on OS version and processor architecture, at least. So if I send you the mysqld generated on my 64-bit Intel machine running Snow Leopard, that won't work for you if your Snow Leopard machine only has a 32-bit processor. It probably also won't work if you're running Leopard or Tiger, or a PowerPC processor.

mysqld is not a text file. It is a compiled executable program.

I doubt your mysqld is corrupt.
Assuming you are following the wiki instructions correctly, and they are not working for you, I believe you have files on your system that are interfering with the normal way of setting up MacPorts MySQL. Perhaps a rogue my.cnf somewhere containing references to the files in /usr/local/mysql* that you already deleted.
