Problem w/ mysql extension installation

Well, PHP modules aren't provided at all by the mysqlNN-{client,server,scripts}
ports.  You want databases/php5-mysql or databases/php5-mysqli

I have certainly been able to install phpmyadmin with mysql-5.4.x from the 
ports -- it works perfectly well.

Not sure what went wrong here, but .../ext/mysql/config.h is part of the
php5-mysql module you're trying to install:

% pkg_which /usr/local/include/php/ext/mysql/config.h
php5-mysql-5.2.12

That file shouldn't be referenced from that location when building the 
php5-mysql module -- rather it should use a version of it included with
the PHP sources.

I see from your later message that this problem has gone away for you,
however, for the benefit of the archives, the best thing to do in this
circumstance is generally to 'make clean' in the port concerned and start
again from the beginning.  If the problem goes away, then it was probably
a transient local problem.  On the other hand, if it persists, then its 
likely to be a configuration problem on your system, or a bad interaction
between that port and something else you've got installed.  It might be
a bug in the port, but considering how popular the combination of php and
MySQL is, chances are hundreds or thousands of other people would have 
experienced the same thing, and the problem would have been fixed in short
order.
