It really does look as though your prefix has somehow been set to

If it is I don't know where.

I see /usr/share/bin in your PATH.

You should get /usr/share/bin out of that PATH statement.

Also, remove /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin. It is not supported to have anything installed in the prefix /usr/local while using MacPorts; it causes problems for many ports. You should remove any software in /usr/local/{bin,include,lib,man,share} and install it using MacPorts instead. (Any other prefix, including any subdirectory of /usr/local, is fine; it's just /usr/local itself that's problematic. So there's no problem with keeping /usr/local/ php5/bin or /usr/local/mysql/bin in the PATH. Though php5 and mysql5 are of course available through MacPorts as well.)

Macports versions and variants of mysql and php do not get me what I need.

The use of /usr/local is so prevalent I'm surprised to hear that I should not use /usr/local and macports at the same time. Seems everything I build on freebsd using freebsd ports installs there to / usr/local. Most unix software that isn't available using macports installs to /usr/local.

If a macports package want's to use something outside /opt/local that is available and fit's the need I think that's fine.

Is it possible to keep macports file writes confined to /opt/local regardless of where the files it uses to build are located?

Do you have this file on your system which on mine is called called from /etc/profile?
/usr/libexec/path_helper
This script reads paths to env from /etc/paths.

I don't ever remembering editing it but along with /bin and /usr/bin was /usr/local/bin.
