No my.cnf file at all?

The search for my.cnf or my.cnf.sample does not lead to any results
because MariaDB has a different naming convention (i. e., not the
".sample" suffix everyone else uses).

Try this:

	# find /usr/local -name my-default.cnf

As you have installed it as a port (and it doesn't belong to the
FreeBSD OS), the location beneath /usr/local is correct. I don't
know if the sample file is already in /usr/local/etc or maybe
/usr/local/etc/mysql, maybe you'll find it in /usr/local/share
somewhere.

Your actual configuration file /usr/local/etc/my.cnf can then be
created with the my-default.cnf template file.
