 Hmmm. Not sure about your installation, but somewhere along the line I'm
pretty sure MySql automatically put the startup script on my system.

In FreeBSD 4+ this should go in /usr/local/etc/rc.d
Be sure to chmod +x the file as well. (my file is called mysql-server.sh)

====start snippet====
#!/bin/sh

case "$1" in
        start)
                if [ -x /usr/local/bin/safe_mysqld ]; then
                        /usr/local/bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql > /dev/null
& && echo -n ' mysqld'
                fi
                ;;
        stop)
                /usr/bin/killall mysqld > /dev/null 2>&1 && echo -n '
mysqld'
                ;;
        *)
                echo ""
                echo "Usage: `basename $0` { start | stop }"
                echo ""
                exit 64
                ;;
esac
=======end snippet

See if that works!
