I'd guess he's hitting up against a hostname problem. MySQL won't
install if it can't figure out the hostname of the system. Installing
from source won't make any difference. Installing from a command like
(using the ports, pkg_add or source) will present you with error
messages that will indicate the problem.
Before doing anything else, make sure your /etc/hosts file is set up
properly. Once that's done, MySQL will install by whatever means you
choose.
