If you have any filenames in the current directory containing the string
"mysql" (probably starting with, from your examples) then those filenames
will be passed to the "port" command.  *The "port" command has no control
whatsoever over this; it is basic shell behavior that cannot be overridden.*

You should get into the habit of always quoting any metacharacters you
don't want the shell to expand.  These are:  $ * ? [ { ' " \ and leading ~.
 SIngle quotes prevent all expansion including the quoting behavior of \ ;
\ quotes any single character, except when in a single-quoted string.
