The simplest way to get mysql is to first cvsup your ports tree, then:

#cd /usr/ports/databases/mysql
#make
#make install clean

This will install version 3.23.51 (at least, as of a few days ago, 
and I don't think any more recent additions have been made to the 
ports tree).

If you want to play on the bleeding edge, I think that you can get 
the beta of 4.0 from mysql.com, but you'd be on your own getting it 
installed and such. I'd stick with the latest port.

But the docs on mysql.com are pretty good. :)
