I'm at work at the moment, so I can't test these, sorry.

Firstly, get portmaster:

# pkg_add -r portmaster

Then read the manpage:

% man portmaster

Try something like:

# portmaster -o databases/mysql55-client mysql-client

# portmaster -o databases/mysql55-server mysql-server

Then, because you haven't read the manpage you'll have to confirm
everything. Read the manpage!

If it doesn't work (because I made a mistake with the -o syntax), read
the manpage and then let us have the output.
