Well, I really *don't* know what I'm doing...
I always started mysqld from a user account.  I didn't pay attention to the
owner/protections on the files, just set the data dir, and at one point I
changed the permissions of everything in that account to 600; I may have
forced the owner/group as well.  I knew mysqld ran as mysql but I thought it
only did that when started by root.
Anyway...

I chmod'd and chown'ed things to mysql:mysql and now get the following:

  [Warning] Can't create test file /hd2/home/me/mysql_data/breakaway.lower-test
  [Note] mysqld (mysqld 5.7.33-log) starting as process 14257 ...
  [Warning] Can't create test file /usr/home/me/mysql_data/breakaway.lower-test
  [Warning] Can't create test file /usr/home/me/mysql_data/breakaway.lower-test
  [Warning] One can only use the --user switch if running as root
  mysqld: File './mysql-bin.index' not found (Errcode: 13 - Permission denied)
  [ERROR] Aborting
  [Note] Binlog end

There is an old mysql-bin.index file:
~/mysql_data$ ls -l mysql-bin.index
-rwxrwx---  1 mysql  mysql  0 Feb  8  2020 mysql-bin.index
and the directory:
~/mysql_data$ ls -dl .
drwxrwxr-x  12 mysql  mysql  1024 Mar 22 13:19 .

so I don't understand what it is complaining about.

aside:
It was suggested to me that I go straight to version 8.  However, when
I deinstalled mysql57-client and mysql57-server it also wanted to deinstall
libreoffice.  I deleted using -f but when I tried to reinstall
mysql80-server it wanted to reinstall mysql57-client and mysql80-client both,
but then I got this:

Conflicts with the existing packages have been found.
One more solver iteration is needed to resolve them.
The following 3 package(s) will be affected (of 0 checked):

Installed packages to be REMOVED:
         libreoffice: 7.0.4.2

New packages to be INSTALLED:
         mysql80-client: 8.0.23
         mysql80-server: 8.0.23

So I tried deleting libreoffice, installing mysql80, then libreoffice, but
libreoffice wants to replace mysql80-client with mysql57-client.

That's using pkg to install, as opposed to building from ports.
