I seemed to have gotten mySQL installed and running, but after a couple o start/stop events, now I am getting :

I'm going to snip right there because you've written such a voluminous message that I'm having immense difficulties taking it all in. But as has been pointed out, /tmp/mysql.sock is not where the MacPorts mysql5 puts its socket. (/tmp/mysql.sock is where the mysql.com binary distribution puts its socket file.) Why is your mysql looking for the socket in /tmp/mysql.sock? Have you configured your my.cnf to point to that location? If so, take those lines out and let mysql find the socket files in the default location.
