Just wanted to let you know that I've solved my problem. The solution
is to compile mysql using

MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.5 \
CFLAGS='-arch i386 -arch x86_64 -arch ppc7400 -arch ppc64' \
LDFLAGS='-arch i386 -arch x86_64 -arch ppc7400 -arch ppc64' \
CXXFLAGS='-arch i386 -arch x86_64 -arch ppc7400 -arch ppc64' \
./configure --disable-dependency-tracking  --enable-thread-safe-client
--prefix=/usr/local/mysql

You then go this way to get it running on your machine:

Then reinstall MySQLdb. Magic!
