Yes it seems to.  You could change it to:

check process mysqld
  with pidfile /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
  etc. etc.

and not check the port at all.

If mysqld dies I wouldn't recommend trying to restart it automatically
though, if mysqld_safe can't do it then you're better off starting it
manually to find the problem.
