You *have* installed the client. Asking for php5 +mysql5 adds a dependency on mysql5. If you haven't already installed the mysql5 port, it is installed for you, but without any variants. You should have first installed mysql5 with the +server variant if that's what you wanted (and it sounds like it is). (Scroll down for more.)
tried that install you have above but it gives me an error ---> Fetching mysql5 ---> Verifying checksum(s) for mysql5 ---> Extracting mysql5 ---> Configuring mysql5 ---> Building mysql5 with target all ---> Staging mysql5 into destroot ---> Creating launchd control script ########################################################### # A startup item has been generated that will aid in # starting mysql5 with launchd.

Do I need to remove mysql5 and start again or is there a way to install the server?

Apologies, but as a follow up... when i run port installed i can see server: mysql5 @5.0.27_1+darwin_8 (active) mysql5 @5.0.27_1+darwin_8+server though its not listed as active...
You need to remove the non-server version: sudo port uninstall mysql5 @5.0.27_1+darwin_8 Now you will only have the +server version installed (but not active) so you need to activate it: sudo port activate mysql5 Then you need to install the initial databases and then start mysqld as per my earlier message.
