first, I don't think the 'mysql' binary even has a '-c' option.
If I'm following you here, you modify the default startup script
(/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh) to run `su -m mysql -c date`.
Instead of the default (w/flags):
/usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe --user=${mysql_user}
--datadir=${mysql_dbdir} --bind-address=${bind_address}
--pid-file=${pidfile} > /dev/null &
why?

I would take a look at the default mysql startup script and compare it
to what you currently have in place.
(/path/to/ports/database/mysql41-server/files/mysql-server.sh)
