A much easier solution would be to edit /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf and
add an entry like the following to the MAKE_ARGS variable:
'databases/mysql323-server' => 'SKIP_INSTALL_DB=yes',
That will cause further MySQL upgrades to not try to install the DB
(meaning they will keep using the current one).
