Ah -- unfortunately not for the packages distributed from
pkg.freebsd.org.  The standard packages will depend on the current
default version of MySQL in the ports tree.  Unfortunately, that's a
hard dependency and compiled into the packages.

However, if you can manage to build your own packages, then you can
locally change which version of MySQL is used by setting something like
this in your make.conf file:

DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=	mysql=8.0

That will force a dependency on databases/mysql80-client to be compiled
into all pkgs that need mysql client support.  Various other versions of
mysql / mariadb / percona can be selected similarly.

	Cheers,
