I installed MySQL from ports (mysql-4.1.7) then tried to start it. Nothing doing - wo way.
Starting it from /usr/loca/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh nothing happens.
No error message is emitted, but no running instance of mysql either.

Read /usr/loca/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh you now have to start mysqld from your rc.conf file.
mysql via the mysql-server.sh script. Nothing doing.
I rebooted the box, checked to see if mysql was running. It wasn't.
I attempted once more to start it from the script - Nothing.
OK, I'm back to where I started.
Ideas?
Did you added mysql_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf?
Yes, it's in there, as per your instructions :-)
That is *actually* supposed to be mysqld_enable="YES". You're missing the 'd'. If you read the script located in /usr/local/etc/rc.d, you'll see a comment of the exact line to add to your rc.conf file.
To start a server without rebooting the system, simply type the following (this example is for mysqld):
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysqld.sh start
