You might be able to get something approximating what you desire with GROUP_CONCAT() which is available in 4.1 and later.

Though you really should consider reorganizing your tables, using normalization. Having the same information (e.g. "Site A") duplicated in more than one row is not a good idea. Ideally you'd have three tables: one storing (site_id, site_name), one storing (part_id, part_name) and the third expressing the many-many relationship between them (site_id, part_id, quantity). If you arrange things in this manner then you can query the relationships easily without the contortions you're going to have to go through with your current setup.
