There's no standard support for this. You will have to modify the script in
(/usr/local)/etc/rc.d/ for that service, specifically the ${name}_start
function. You will however have to do this with each update, so it is
generally better to contact the author of the service that depends on MySQL,
to more gracefully start up: if the connection can't be made that it tries
again until it does (maybe with a max_retries setting). This is very trivial
stuff in daemons.

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
and never get to the software part.
