I went that root until I finally updated to MySQL 5. In any case, you
could try the following. From root:

1) Update your ports
2) Install 'portmanager'
3} Run portmanager -u

That will update all of your out of date ports and their dependencies as
well as updating MySQL. Be fore warned, you will have to restart MySQL
after portmanager has finished running. Actually, if there are a lot of
running processes updated, I just reboot.
