A better way is to either 1. add the "mysql" USE flag to /etc/make.conf USE flags (if you want to enable mysql support for all packages that might support it); or 2. add dev-php/php mysql to /etc/portage/package.use (to enable mysql support for this package only). If the folder /etc/portage already exists, you can just do # echo "dev-php/php mysql" >>/etc/portage/package.use to enable the USE flag for that specific package.
