I doubt this is a MacPorts-specific issue so you may have more luck writing to 
a MySQL-specific support venue.

You mean /opt/local/etc/my.cnf? Are the other values in this file taking 
effect? Changing them does actually change things? I ask because MySQL checks 
various locations for my.cnf files, and I don’t remember what the order is or 
what happens if they’re found in multiple locations; possibly one of them takes 
precedence.

In what way does using /var/tmp as the temporary directory not work?

This is /var/tmp or /opt/local/tmp?
