Right. Because this is not a FreeBSD issue but a MySQL issue. MySQL users have 
nothing to do with the local users for the operating system.

You only need the 'mysql' user, which is created by the port, and read:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Privileges.html

All databases will go under /var/db/mysql and the quick and dirty answer is:
mysql -e "GRANT ALL ON $dbname.* TO '$dbuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 
'$userpasswd'"
