That is *actually* supposed to be mysqld_enable="YES".  You're missing 
the 'd'.  If you read the script located in /usr/local/etc/rc.d, you'll 
see a comment of the exact line to add to your rc.conf file.

To start a server without rebooting the system, simply type the 
following (this example is for mysqld):

# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysqld.sh start
