better use the rc script
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh (start|stop|...)

after adding the mysql vars into /etc/rc.conf:
mysql_enable="YES"
mysql_limits="YES" # (optional)
( see all in the rc script)

I have found that the pidfile variable in mysql-server.sh doesnt act as 
expected when you use the stop command.
commenting that line solved the problem for me;

#pidfile="${mysql_dbdir}/`/bin/hostname`.pid"
