Do not purchase anything. You don't have to. Look http://www.mysqldeveloper.com/4.x-bk_tree/SSL/NOTES for use by example. You can use as long keys as you want and openssl supports. You need openssl to be installed (usually it is on every Linux, do not know about FreeBSD). I wrote original SSL part of MySQL and not sure if something have changed from this time. Shown file contains cut&paste from my console when I set MySQL up and running with SSL.
