yes, it should work this way.

mysql has been replaced completely by sqlite.

the sqlite database consists of two files:
geoinfo.db should come with your installation, and contains all the poi types 
and some general presets.
waypoints.db should be created automatically in ~/.gpsdrive/ if not already 
there, and contains all your waypoint data.

postgresql is needed by mapnik.
it is used to provide the data for the map rendering in mapnik mode, and 
contains all the point of interest from openstreetmap.
if you compile without mapnik support, you don't need it.
