For your questions I have nothing useful.

However, I suggest you choose either mysql55, mariadb or percona rather then the older mysql ports like mysql4, mysql5 and mysql51.

If there are other ports you need that have not been updated to use either mysql55, mariadb or percona let me know or file a trac ticket asking for the port to be updated to use mysql55, mariadb or percona.
