I believe that is still the recommended way to run MySQL under FreeBSD yes.

Have a look at 
http://www.mysql.com/documentation/mysql/bychapter/manual_Installing.html#FreeBSD 
and http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/000697.html

FreeBSD 5.x has got some good stuff going on with threading libraries, 
but it's not ready for mainstream use yet.
