Try this.
pkg_delete -dfv mysql*
That should delete all traces of MySQL
You might also want to backup the contents of the /var/db/mysql folder
also. In any case, delete the folder and it contents. While you are at
it, delete the files in "/usr/ports/distfiles" also.
Update the ports tree, and cd to the version of mysql you want to
install. Run "make config" to insure it is configured correctly.
Run; make install && make clean
Make sure that the correct entry is in the "/etc/rc.conf" file to enable
MySQL to start on boot. I think it is: mysql_enable="YES".
Either reboot or cd to the "/usr/local/etc/rc.d" directory and run the
mysql startup script. I believe "./mysql" is correct. This should
create all of the necessary files and directories you need to initialise
MySQL.
