The problem is the pthreads library, which is AFAIK not (yet?)
available for NetBSD/m68k, at least not officially. George Harvey
has made some patches to make pthreads work with MySQL. I tried to
build MySQL with them, but didn't succeed, but probably I wasn't
trying hard enough :(
But I could send you these patches, maybe you have more patience.

If you are looking for an alternative: MiniSQL works perfectly on
NetBSD/Amiga. Although it has not all the features of MySQL, it is fairly
usable. If you need only a small DBMS, it might be worth saving the
trouble building MySQL.
