akonadi needs /usr/sbin/mysqld provided by the mysql-server-* packages,
and runs it with a custom configuration. There is no automatic way to use the 
system-wide mysql, but you are free to code one and include it upstream.

About having two mysqld running, this is because the mysql-server-* packages 
launch it by default. There is nothing the pkg-kde team can do about it, feel 
free to bug the mysql packaging team to get a package installing 
/usr/sbin/mysqld without the init scripts.
