Well, at least up to MySQL 3.23.58 a startup script 
'000.mysql-client.sh' gets installed under '/usr/local/etc/rc.d' which 
runs this command at boot time:

   /sbin/ldconfig -m /usr/local/lib/mysql

This is supposed to ensure that the system automatically knows where to 
look for the MySQL client libs.  It worked for me out of the box.  Did 
you delete this script, or is there any other reason why scripts under 
'/usr/local/etc/rc.d' don't get executed on your system?
