You don't have to configure anything, Akonadi starts a per-user instance of mysqld automatically. But it needs the mysql-server package for that purpose. http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/PIM/Akonadi#Do_I_need_a_running_MySQL_server.3F > Is this MySQL dependency by intention?

FYI, Akonadi can also be configured to use a central MySQL server somewhere, but this is not the default configuration and as you say we definitely cannot expect our users to be database admins, so we have to make the default configuration work, thus the hard dependency on mysql-server. (Unfortunately, RPM still does not support soft dependencies.)
