Patch/diff for a new port sysutils/nss_ndb

A new port:=20

nss_ndb is a nsswitch backend that uses BerkeleyDB (by default the old buil=
tin
version in libc, but can optionally use v6, v5 or v4.8) that is thread-safe=
 and
optimized for speed and handling of large passwd & group maps. Also supports
incremental updates of the databases.

It has been in use on our systems for a couple of years handling ~140000 pa=
sswd
entries and thousands of groups (talking directly to AD via Samba winbind
causes slowdowns so we "sync" the AD contents into the nss_ndb databases).
