If this is a fresh install, you may also have to initialise the internal database and tables. The rc.d script is supposed to do this automatically, but sometimes it doesn't. Try running the following:
# /usr/local/bin/mysql_install_db
And then running the rc.d script.

If that doesn't work, check /var/log/messages and the mysql logs in /var/db/mysql.
