Tim,
Just a reminder, as I am not sure if it is documented or not; After you get
MySQL up and running via the DMG package be sure to install the System
Preferences pane (it didn't use to install by default, not sure if it does now)
which should be one of the icons you get when the DMG first opens, if I recall.
Once you get the system preferences pane installed you can access it and
enable the Startup option so that MySQL starts whenever the system is booted.
I am not sure what your requirements are but without the previously mentioned
steps, if your machine loses power while you are away and is subsequently
rebooted, you will not be able to access the database until you manually start
the service.
Hope this helps.

I familiar with mysql on linux, as of late - ubuntu.
I am installing mysql on a mac mini, with the Lion - osx 10.7
operating system.
mysql-server was downloaded and built with macports.
Following instructions included has not resulted in a successful
startup.
:) Last night before turning in, I thought that maybe I should have
investigated the DMG option. It is clear from the respondents that
I should do this.
Thanks a lot. I will uninstall via macports and use the package as
recommended.
