Ryan,
I don't trust my memory to put the files I moved back to their origins, so I
uninstalled mysql5 @5.1.55_0 and mysql5-server @5.1.55_0. Then I installed
them.
Then, following the installation directions, I ran sudo port load
mysql5-server. Then, again following the directions, I ran sudo -u _mysql
mysql_install_db5 with this result:
FATAL ERROR: Could not find mysqld
The following directories were searched:
/usr/local/mysql-5.5.6-rc-osx10.6-x86_64/libexec
/usr/local/mysql-5.5.6-rc-osx10.6-x86_64/sbin
/usr/local/mysql-5.5.6-rc-osx10.6-x86_64/bin
If you compiled from source, you need to run 'make install' to
copy the software into the correct location ready for operation.
If you are using a binary release, you must either be at the top
level of the extracted archive, or pass the --basedir option
pointing to that location.
Then, following the wiki which says if that command does not work try sudo
mysql5_install_db5, I ran it with the same result as above.
Then I tried this command: sudo -u mysql mysql_install_db5 with the same result
as above. This is the command from the wiki. The command in the terminal
installation directions is slightly different: sudo -u _mysql mysql_install_db5.
Then, just for fun, I followed the wiki to see if the server is running. I ran
ps -ax | grep mysql. The result was:
5406 ?? 0:00.02 /opt/local/bin/daemondo --label=mysql5 --start-cmd
/opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5/mysql5.wrapper start ;
--stop-cmd /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5/mysql5.wrapper stop
; --restart-cmd /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5/mysql5.wrapper
restart ; --pid=none
5875 ttys000 0:00.00 grep mysql
I have never run that command, but I see no error messages, so I suspect the
server is running.
Thanks for your patience, and I would appreciate any ideas you have.

David, I assume you're referring to this message:
http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-users/2011-March/023756.html
There, all you showed was that mysql_install_db5 was unable to find mysqld in
directories under /usr/local/mysql-5.5.6-rc-osx10.6-x86_64. Those directories
are where an official mysql.com installation of mysql would have put files, so
that's not the correct place for a MacPorts mysql to be searching for things,
and you already said you deleted all files there, so it's no surprise it can't
find it there. This does not indicate mysqld is corrupt; it indicates
mysql_install_db5 is searching for mysqld in the wrong places. We need to
figure out why it's doing that.
Following that, you started moving MacPorts-installed files around, which
should not be necessary for success, so I'm not going to deal with anything
past that point. Put all MacPorts-installed files back where they were, then we
can investigate further.
