For this particular kind of merge, I don't think it is necessary to do 
anything about the CVS history.  Just merge the last revision into the 
main msql port, all you will lose is the history on the msql-beta
subtree, which I assume is not going to be much.

FYI, if it's going to be merged in the other direction, i.e. if the
new port is going to be called "msql2" or something and the old one is
to disappear (like tcl/tk ports), then it is necessary to do a
repository copy BEFORE importing the new port.
