newbie install question

[Marty Landman]

I've had so many truncated d/l's trying to install the Mysql server from 
the port that came with my 4.8 mini iso that I decided instead to d/l the 
mysql-max-4.0.16-unknown-freebsd4.7-i386.tar.gz from mysql.org and install 
from there. How is this done? Do I just drop the tar.gz into the ports dir 
and then make install; make build after make dist-clean? Which subdir does 
the .gz file go into?
