You might also want to try starting from the command line but clearing
the environment first:

doas env -i /etc/rc.d/mariadb start

Also check that the installed mariadb rc.d file matches the current shipped:

diff /etc/rc.d/mariadb /usr/pkg/share/examples/rc.d/mariadb

(Running mariadb 11.4.5 on NetBSD-10.1/amd64 here, but as always:
"works on my machine" is of limited help :)
