That doesn't look like the right value for default_socket. Read the notes for the php55-mysql port:


$ port notes php55-mysql
php55-mysql has the following notes:
  To use mysqlnd with a local MySQL server, edit /opt/local/etc/php55/php.ini and set mysql.default_socket, mysqli.default_socket and pdo_mysql.default_socket to the path to your MySQL server's socket file.
  
  For mysql5, use /opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock
  For mysql51, use /opt/local/var/run/mysql51/mysqld.sock
  For mysql55, use /opt/local/var/run/mysql55/mysqld.sock
  For mysql56, use /opt/local/var/run/mysql56/mysqld.sock
  For mariadb, use /opt/local/var/run/mariadb/mysqld.sock
  For percona, use /opt/local/var/run/percona/mysqld.sock
