For your needs, you can use mostly the default settings.
Look in /usr/local/share/mysql
There will be several files called my-small.cnf, my-large.cnf, etc. Copy
my-small.etc to /etc/my.cnf. Edit the file and change the two lines
where it references the mysql socket.
Remove any links you made before doing this.

Right, I created a hardlink of the socket into
/var/www/mysql/mysql.sock and changed this directive in php.ini to the
following...
mysql.default_socket = /var/www/mysql/mysql.sock
I however could not find the my.cnf file, where is it on OpenBSD 3.6,
I did a "find / | grep my.cnf" which showed up nothing.
From phpinfo()...
