That's what I tried initally. Did not work here: the php3 module
says "Function mysql_connect undefined".

When I added --with-mysql=/usr/pkg to the confgiure args and recompiled
the pkg, it started working.

Maybe you are not using the Module version? I think php3 itself (the
executable) does work with mysql after php3-mysql is installed.
