When you install php53-mysql using port it returns the following message which is the solution to this problem:

To use mysqlnd with a local MySQL server, edit /opt/local/etc/php53/php.ini
and set mysql.default_socket, mysqli.default_socket and
pdo_mysql.default_socket to the path to your MySQL server's socket file.

For mysql5, use /opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock
For mysql51, use /opt/local/var/run/mysql51/mysqld.sock
For mysql55, use /opt/local/var/run/mysql55/mysqld.sock
For mariadb, use /opt/local/var/run/mariadb/mysqld.sock
For percona, use /opt/local/var/run/percona/mysqld.sock
