If you try to start MySQL server using the preference pane it fails. I tried to start it using '/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld start' and it still failed.
Here is the fix for the preference pane start and stop.
Edit '/usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server'
Find line 'basedir=.' and replace it with 'basedir=/usr/local/mysql'
Here is the screenshot after the change:

sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server start|stop
SystemPreferences > PreferencePane > MySQL Start|Stop Server
