$ ftp "ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/`uname -r`/packages/`uname -m`/"
ftp> mget mysql-*
$ sudo pkg_add mysql*
$ sudo vi /etc/rc.local

-- add this to /etc/rc.local --
### MySQL ###
if [ -x /usr/local/share/mysql/mysql.server ]; then
        echo 'Starting MySQL'
        /usr/local/share/mysql/mysql.server start >/dev/null 2>&1
fi
-- add this to /etc/rc.local --

Voila !
If this is the official way ?
It's my way, oh yes thats official around here :))
