It seems that one of your installed packages has a mysql atom that's missing the category part. This will probably help you identify the file containing the bad dependency string: find /var/db/pkg -name "*DEPEND" | xargs egrep '(^mysql|[[:space:]]mysql)' | grep -v 'mysql?' You can use a text editor to add the missing category, or just unmerge the package with the bad dependency string.

Created attachment 109194 [details, diff] automatically choose the non-virtual match This patch will solve cases similar to the one that you've encountered.
In svn r5897 I fixed it to show which package triggered the error. This has been released in 2.1.2-r8.
