Use the ports or packages to install mysql client and you will have no
trouble configuring snort --with-mysql.  The package I use that works
very well is "mysql-client-3.23.57.tgz", just go:

pkg_add
ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.4/packages/i386/mysql-client-3.23.57
.tgz

On your OpenBSD system.  This will also install all dependency packages
silently.  I didn't see any compelling reason to use mysql4 yet, as
mysql3.23 is more supportable and the network performance is FAST (for a
tcp app).

Then when configuring snort, just go ./configure --with-mysql

If your database is on a remote system, all will be well (if not then
add the mysql server package from the same locatio).
