If that's the case everything should to be good to go after the port
is install.  With the exception of creating the root password (and of
course creating your own dbs).

On your original post you listed some stuff that looked like the
standard mysql install steps, which since you used the ports most of
that is done for you..

verify the following in /etc/rc.conf:

     mysql_enable = "YES" 

start mysql:

     # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh start
