See CONFIGURE_ARGS in /usr/ports/databases/mysql50-server/Makefile.   
Note that the $PREFIX is already configured pretty much right  
already, and that mysql will run as a "mysql" user, and that putting  
the MySQL socket under /tmp is already done for you.

I'm not sure why you want to statically link MySQL, but if you really  
want to do so, that would be the only argument likely worth changing  
in the port's Makefile....
