You may need to set a variable in /etc/rc.conf such as:
  MySQL="YES" 
or some such or you may need to set execute permission on
the  /usr/loca/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh  file - some ports seem to
install it without execute to start so you can do your own tinkering
before actually running it or some such thing.

No No No.
I don't see anything like that and it would be wrong - against
the way the system works.
