Hello,
For consistency's sake, wouldn't it be nicer to make mysql5 server variant its own port, as postgresql82-server port? This way, ports could even depend on the mysql5 server without fail.
Since server basically just adds the startupitem, I think we should just make server the default. The startupitem should be harmless unless explicitly loaded, and surely the couple of extra small files is relatively no impact.
Any objections?

I agree, that's even better! But we should do the same in mysql5, then =).

Did you mean "but we should do the same in postgresql82"? The objection might be that both postgresql82-server and mysql5 +server currently add a system user/group. Users might not like that this happens even when it's not needed. On the other hand, I have a hunch that someone installing mysql5 or postgresql82 with MacPorts is more than likely going to want to run it as a server. Also, AFAIK, the requisite mysql user/group is already present on Mac OS X since 10.2? certainly since 10.3, which is the earliest we support now. I don't know about the postgresql user/group though.

I do want the ability to put MySQL/PostgreSQL on an external firewire or USB drive with a copy of MacPorts, walk over to another system, plug it in an run it. So commonly, this means I build the package with the server option disabled, and have a GUI app start the server. So having a port that doesn't install usernames and startup items is nice (for me).
