  I've created a system-wide /etc/my.cnf
  with the following :
  [mysqld]
  socket=/opt/local/var/run/mysql56/mysqld.sock

  [client]
  socket=/opt/local/var/run/mysql56/mysqld.sock

  So now I can start mysql56, but it remains to import the data
  properly.

  Once I figure out the correct method I'll post the results.
