To be honest, I would probably use the official osx-packager.pl from  
SVN @ http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythtv/contrib/osx- 
packager.pl.  It is regularly updated and compiles and fetches all  
the dependencies for you fairly well.

You shouldn't have to have the exact same mysql client as the server,  
in other applications I can use a 4.x client to access a 3.x database  
without issue.
