I'd suggest ignoring the port and going right from the sources.
Use the port if it's useful, but don't get hung up on it. It's
not magic!
I have had no trouble compiling from the distribution that is on
the MySQL home page. If you do have trouble with it, it'll be
easier to solve what's gone wrong with that, than trying to sort
through what the port is doing.
I like ports, I think they're great, but if it's not working, it's
not great. If you're feeling like using the port, try mailing
the FreeBSD ports mailing list (freebsd-ports@stripped) and
send them the output of your make command, and also what version
of FreeBSD you're using, etc. You'll get some good help from
that.
