So the port munin could be the node only, and munin +server additionally installs the server. This would be reasonable as the node gets installed

This was my initial idea, based on the mysql5 port. On the other hand the fact that the server was not there had been very confusing when I
installed MySQL from MacPorts for the first time :)

MySQL 5 is an interesting case because the server variant only creates a startupitem. Normally something this inexpensive should not warrant a variant (and causes confusion as you note), but it does cause installing
the port to require root.

The +server variant will be removed from the mysql5 port and the mysql5 port will be split in two: mysql5 (installing all binaries needed to be a mysql client or server) and mysql5-server (installing just the startup item and creating the directories for storing your databases).

http://trac.macports.org/ticket/12313

postgresql ports already do this.

So now we will have to do mysql5-server instead of mysql5+server to get a MySQL server that runs at startup?

Right. It will be "sudo port install mysql5-server" instead of "sudo port install mysql5 +server".
