1) $ pkg_info
       look for mysql and see what it says
2) $ sudo pkg_delete mysql-3.23.42 tee ~/my.log
3) $ sudo pkg_add 
ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.0/packages/i386/mysql-server-3.23.42-max.tgz 
tee ~/my.log
4) $ sudo pkg_add 
ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.0/packages/i386/mysql-client-3.23.42.tgz 
tee ~/my.log
5) $ sudo pkg_add 
ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.0/packages/i386/mysqlgui-1.75.tgz 
tee ~/my.log

READ THE MESSAGES ON THE SCREEN THEY ARE TERRIBLY IMPORTANT!
They will be in your home directory in the file "my.log" after each step.

to make your life easier add

PKG_PATH = ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.0/packages/i386/

to your .profile, then you can do
pkg_add ${PKG_PATH}mypackage.tgz
