No, that's not the problem.  OpenBSD packages aren't supposed to install
to a $PREFIX/package-foo directory, just $PREFIX.

It makes me curious, why would you think a -stable port could be
wrong in such a way.  Do you think no one else is using mysql
on 3.1-stable?

Most likely it's just a $PATH problem.  It's most definitely a local
config problem, unless mysql just doesn't work on your platform,
which should be specified in problem reports.
