Well you snipped the part of my previous post that answers this, so let
me try again.
MYSQL_VER is a user knob. It's defined in bsd.databases.mk. If a user
sets MYSQL_VER= 52 it means that they are choosing, on purpose, to use
mariadab as their version of mysql. So, "I requested MySQL and I got
something else as a dependency instead" isn't happening. If you need to
know more about mariadb feel free to visit http://mariadb.org/.
Further, every other port that uses mysql as a dependency already works
the way I described. The bug in this port is that it doesn't properly
honor the user's MYSQL_VER setting. That bug needs to be fixed, that's all.
