As I said, I don't know the process on a mac (unless this is os X and then I can guess) so can't advise on that. The manual at http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.macosx.php probably has the info there.
Another reason would be the different release schedules with php and mysql. They are dropping the built in mysql for version 5.0 of php. That is documented at the php site. The php site has all the installation instructions for a Mac and should be able to guide you through building your own. The mysql site http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/4.1.html (this for version 4.1) has binaries prebuilt for a Mac OS X If you still don't get the info you need for the above pages, try running ./configure --help at the command prompt. This will give you all the options available to you including directing the compiler/linker etc. to the right spot for your mysql client libraries.
