RTFM, but...
Occasionally I get odd things happening, things not
starting up even though rc.conf has the right
information. Try starting by hand using the script in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d
If it doesn't start that way, then run the command
that actually starts mysql and see if it complains
about something missing.
