Yes, a quick and dirty way would be to install the package with dpkg and "--force-depends". But in general changed dependencies make sense, so I don't think it will work very well. A slightly better solution would be to use equivs. But I think the best way would be to just get the source package (.orig.tar.gz, .dsc and .diff.gz) and build the old mysql on an etch box.
