| ¿Have you considered PostgreSQL? It is on the ports collection, and is a
| heavy duty database engine, with transactions, subqueries (only partial
| support), etc. Version 6.5 will be released in about two weeks, and it
| adds MVCC (multi-version concurrency control), which will improve a lot
| its multi-user capabilities. And, I know of some projects that are using
| it for multi-GB databases. I've been using it for or student database
| for more than two years (since version 6.0), and am quite happy with
| it. See www.postgresql.org for more information.

If I recall correctly, isn't postgresql *based* off of the Berkeley DB 
engine?
