Description:
Mac OS X was released in July 2011. It's been almost a year, and http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/ only shows downloads for Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6.

How to repeat:
Go to http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/ and select "Mac OS X" from the "Platform" pull-down.

Suggested fix:
Make DMG/tarballs suited for Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion)

Installing MySQL 5.5.27 for Mac OS X 10.6 works for me, so it shouldn't be difficult to have a package associated with Mac OS X 10.7, since it can likely be the same package.

The README is vastly out of date:

If you are running Mac OS X Server, a version of MySQL should already
be installed. The following table shows the versions of MySQL that ship
with Mac OS X Server versions.

*Mac OS X Server       *MySQL Version*
Version*               
10.2-10.2.2            3.23.51
10.2.3-10.2.6          3.23.53
10.3                   4.0.14
10.3.2                 4.0.16
10.4.0                 4.1.10a

(I'm not running Mac OS X server, but that's not the point)
