It's not currently supported. From the "Additional Notes" section of the 
readme:

"Normally, MySQL clients connect to a server on the same machine via a 
Unix socket on *nix systems, and through a named pipe on Windows. 
Neither of these conventions is currently supported. TCP is used for all 
connections."

I'm not opposed to it being added, but I'm not aware of what benefit it 
would provide that would big enough to make it a priority. Also, AFAIK, 
vibe doesn't offer socket support like it does TCP, so vibe users would 
loose out on the automatic yield-on-io that's a cornerstone of vibe's 
concurrency design.
