MariaDB is not a *binary* replacement for MySQL, it just offers a compatible API, so yes, if you want *that*, you have to compile yourself from ports.

The mechanism in ports for this kind of thing is DEFAULT_VERSIONS. Something like DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= mysql=10.6m should work here (untested).

If you want to use mariadb (like i do) it's best to compile and install all from ports.
[Because binary packages use mysql which conflicts with mariadb , so that does not work]
You just need one line in make.conf:

DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= mysql=10.6m
