I think you are confusing package with releases. They are really 
independant and you just have snapshots of what is current on the 
release CDROMs. When you cvsup ports-all, for example, you use a 
"tag=.", which locates the ports on the head or current tree.

In my mind, you should not be looking on the 4.4 tree for the mySQL 
packages. By this time, all or most of them would have most likely 
been upgraded and anything you downloaded would be using old code.

There are all kinds of mySQL packages on 
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/databases/
