I have MySQL-5 installed. It worked without incident. Might I suggest
the following.
If you have portsclean installed, part of the portupgrade package,
please read the manual for it and run it.
"portsclean -CLP" should do the trick. Then update your ports tree. I
would recommend 'portsnap' but that decision is up to you.
Then navigate to databases/mysql51-server
I would recommend that you delete that directory you created manually.
It probably has the wrong permissions, etc. and will cause a build
problem.
Do the regular "make install && make clean" and you should be good to go.
Place: mysql_enable="YES" in the /etc/rc.conf file and then either
reboot or run the rc.d file: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server start and
it will create the directories it requires. You still have to create a
use though.
Ciao!
