After some googling, I found the following solution:
1.  cd /usr/ports/databases/mysql323-client
2.  rm -rf work
3.  make extract
4.  vi work/mysql-3.23.56/config
    find longlong.
    in the function that follows, change close to fclose.
    save file.
5.  make
6.  make install

works like a champ.  Seems to be a bug in the config script.

thanks,
Darryl
