I believe that chown and chgrp are standard *nix commands and should work in bsd as well. Do you have a mysql system user and system group? Did you try the command as root? Otherwise, post the exact error message.

Why do you need to chown mysql databases and to what user do you want to take ownership. What is the error that you get when you try to chown the mysql databases? FreeBSD automatically sets the mysql ownership to the mysql system account just like in Linux.
