 You have to create a file in your /usr/local/etc/rc.d directory that will
start (and stop) mysql.

 It needs to be 'chmod 755' (you could probably use chmod 700)

 And, it would likely contain something like this:

================= snip start==============
#!/bin/sh

case "$1" in
	start)
		if [ -x /usr/local/bin/safe_mysqld ]; then
			/usr/local/bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql > /dev/null &
			echo -n ' mysqld'
		fi
		;;
	stop)
		/usr/bin/killall mysqld > /dev/null 2>&1 && echo -n ' mysqld'
		;;
	*)
		echo ""
		echo "Usage: `basename $0` { start | stop }"
		echo ""
		exit 64
		;;
esac
================ end snippet ====================
