Just to give a short answer about this:
- I am listening here very closely as amarok was one of the things why I 
am working on kde on windows.
- As Ian pointed out, there is libmysqld stuff in the 5.1 packages which 
might need some repackaging but otherwise seems to be ok for now. As he 
pointed out too, we are basically a software distribution - which 
nevertheless means we have a limited amount of time we can invest into this.
