If you're building from the ports:
localhost.root# make
You may use the following build options:
WITH_CHARSET=charset define the primary built-in charset (latin1);
WITH_XCHARSET=list define other built-in charsets (may be 'all');
DB_DIR=directory Set alternate directory for database files.
^C
localhost.root# make -DDB_DIR=/where/iwant/data
--- or ---
install per normal, then
mv /var/db/mysql /where/iwant/data
ln -s /where/iwant/data/mysql /var/db/mysql
--- or ---
edit /etc/my.cnf :
[mysqld]
datadir=/where/iwant/data
---
