"sudo port load mysql5-server" loads the mysqld server immediately, and every time you start up your computer. You don't need to run any further commands, unless you no longer want mysqld running, in which case you can run "sudo port unload mysql5-server" which stops mysqld immediately and no longer makes it start when you start up your computer.
