The startup script I tried previously
(/usr/local/share/mysql/mysql.server) runs the safe_mysqld script you
mention. I also tried running safe_mysqld as you suggest but the result
is the same:

mysqld started
Can't start server  : Bind on unix socket: Permission denied
Do you already have another mysqld server running on socket:
/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock ?

I just tried adjusting write permissions /var/run/mysql and mysqld now
starts. Should pkg_add have set that up for me?
