Use binary package(it's easier than to compile from ports):
pkg_add -r mysql51-server

I would recommend a mysql 5.1 binary from: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.1.html
You can select freebsd from the dropdown.
Then follow the directions at: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/binary-installation.html
These instructions are not bulletproof, so you may need to read a bit of documentation. Post questions if you have them.
