Ok, lets take a look to the apache related configure parameters.
$> httpd-2.2.2 # ./configure --help | grep -i -e db -e ber
--enable-authn-dbm DBM-based authentication control
--enable-authn-dbd SQL-based authentication control
--enable-authz-dbm DBM-based authorization control
--enable-dbd Apache DBD Framework
--enable-static-htdbm Build a statically linked version of htdbm
httpd-2.2.22 # ./configure --help | grep -i -e db -e ber
--enable-authn-dbm DBM-based authentication control
--enable-authn-dbd SQL-based authentication control
--enable-authz-dbm DBM-based authorization control
--enable-dbd Apache DBD Framework
--enable-static-htdbm Build a statically linked version of htdbm
--enable-static-httxt2dbm
Build a statically linked version of httxt2dbm
So we can confirm the WITH_DB... parameters in Makefile.modules was a leftover
from the bundled apr.
May 5 2010:
- 2/5: Update to httpd 2.2.15, default to using devel/apr instead of bundled apr
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports?view=revision&revision=253782
May 18 2010 (PORTVERSION=2.2.15):
- Remove WITH_APR_FROM_PORTS option. Always use devel/apr1 port now.
Bundled srclib/apr is never used now.
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports?view=revision&revision=254535
Now if we go back to RELENG_6_0 and look into the apr port then we can find the following line
- LIB_DEPENDS+= db-4.2.2:${PORTSDIR}/databases/db42
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/tags/RELEASE_6_0_0/devel/apr/Makefile?annotate=145534
which was changed Apr 6 2006 to
- WITH_BDB= 42+
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/devel/apr1/Makefile?r1=158941&r2=158942&;
Knowing this, we can say with the removal of the bundled apr/apr-util
in May 18 2010 was the last version which supported WITH_BDB_BASE.
Also we can say not an httpd but an apr-util limitation.
Meanwhile apache also bundles APR-1.4.5 and APR-Util-1.4.1 and they have no BDB_BASE support.
What we really don't want is to backport everything like RHEL, (they are using apr-1.3.x
but together with db47)
The reason to not use the bundled apr/apr-util is we can update both independent in the port
devel/apr, and in case there are security issues or other fixes we can update this port.
If you have a fix for apr-util which will be accepted upstream I'm happy to include the patch.

Please send plain text only mails to the list.
