120.0.0.1 is a loopback interface, do you have it enabled (ifconfig -a)?
I can bind mysql on it just fine on FBSD 4.9:

dev:~# netstat -na
Active Internet connections (including servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q  Local Address          Foreign Address        (state)
tcp4       0      0  127.0.0.1.3306         *.*                    LISTEN
