Not necessarily.

If MySQL5 uses a slightly different filename, then two pid files
is to be expected -- if I remember correctly, mysqld overwrites
the previous pid file.  If MySQL5 is creating a pid file with a
different name, then the old MySQL4 pid file will still be there,
because I don't believe that mysqld cleans up the pid file.

Have you tried starting mysqld from a command line?
