The short answer is you don't have a "mysql" user.
The freebsd port should have done this for you.
You may find the following useful
which was snipped from
/usr/ports/databases/mysql323-server/pkg_install
% pw group add mysql -g 88
% pw useradd mysql -u 88 -g mysql -h - \
-d /var/db/mysql -s /sbin/nologin -c "MySQL Daemon"
