Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 That's not actually correct. mysql5 is all the compiled software,
 including the client and the server. mysql5-server is merely a small
 amount of additional setup, including creating a user, creating a few
 directories, setting the ownership of those directories, and installing a
 launchd plist, to help you more easily run a mysql5 server.
