Sounds like you'll have to do some debugging.  Try adding --verbose to 
mysql_args in /etc/rc.conf, and see the other advice in
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/starting-server.html

It may be something really simple, like the mysql data directory not being 
where the server expects it to be.
