Because mysql50-server port thinks -lthread can only have shlib version 3 or 
5, while if built with gcc 4 (FreeBSD 7.x), you get 6 or 7.

So, you can wait for the port to be fixed or not use linuxthreads.

You could fix the port yourself, by altering the following line:
LIB_DEPENDS+=   lthread.[35]:${PORTSDIR}/devel/linuxthreads
to:
LIB_DEPENDS+=   lthread.[3-7]:${PORTSDIR}/devel/linuxthreads

in /usr/ports/databases/mysql50-server/Makefile

BUT....there might be a reason the port maintainer excludes these version 
numbers.

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
    and never get to the software part.
