That's where the program "mysql_config" lives.configure.env-append PATH=${prefix}/lib/mysql5/bin:$env(PATH)
The reason it then still doesn't work is because libzdb is calling mysql_config incorrectly. As you note, it uses "mysql_config --libs $LDFLAGS". It is not correct to put "$LDFLAGS" at the end of that command invocation. The correct way to call it is just "mysql_config --libs". It works for you on the command line because LDFLAGS is empty by default, but MacPorts fills it with a value, so when run within MacPorts, it fails. If you look in the config.log, you see that mysql_config is printing its usage message, showing that the way it is being used is not correct. Attached is a Portfile and patch that work for me. You should send the patchfile to the author of libzdb.
In the Portfile, I also added a dependency on mysql5, and added configure arguments to disable postgresql and sqlite. If you want to enable postgresql or sqlite, remove the corresponding configure argument and add the required dependency.
