While waiting for answers to the above questions, I went ahead and
tried the following:

1. Downloaded the RPM for the server's version of MySql:
http://downloads.mysql.com/archives/mysql-3.23/MySQL-devel-3.23.57-1.i386.rpm

2. Copy file to server, and extract to a new folder i made called rpmmysql:
[gpinero at intel1 gpinero]$ cd rpmmysql/
[gpinero at intel1 rpmmysql]$ rpm2cpio
/home/gpinero/MySQL-devel-3.23.56-1.i386.rpm | cpio -d -i
3936 blocks
[gpinero at intel1 rpmmysql]$ ls
usr
[gpinero at intel1 rpmmysql]$ cd usr
[gpinero at intel1 usr]$ ls
bin  include  lib
[gpinero at intel1 usr]$ cd include/
[gpinero at intel1 include]$ ls
mysql
[gpinero at intel1 include]$ cd mysql
[gpinero at intel1 mysql]$ ls

3. Edited setup.py to include the new directory.  Here's my whole file
just in case you need it:

=========================
Python interface to MySQL
=========================

MySQLdb is an interface to the popular MySQL_ database server for
Python.  The design goals are:

- Compliance with Python database API version 2.0 [PEP-0249]_

- Thread-safety

- Thread-friendliness (threads will not block each other) 

MySQL-3.22 through 4.1 and Python-2.3 through 2.4 are currently
supported.

MySQLdb is `Free Software`_.
