--- Comment #5 from Daniƫl van Eeden <freebsd@myname.nl> ---
I'm also interested to help with this port.

Some info for how to build MySQL Shell:
https://github.com/mysql/mysql-shell/blob/master/INSTALL

Note that there are a few things that make building mysql-shell a bit more
complicated:

1. It needs a build of MySQL for libmysqlclient and libxmysqlclient. I hope we
can use the existing mysql port for this, but I'm not sure about this.

2. It builds with Python. I guess this should be strait forward.

3. It builds with javascript support via Graal / Polyglog API. Details in the
INSTALL file and here:
https://github.com/mysql/mysql-shell/blob/master/ext/polyglot/README.txt 

I think it would be good to first try and build without Javascript or Python
and then first add Python and later add Javascript.
