Absolutly wrong, definitely for portmanager and likely for
portupgrade. The real problem is identified further down in this
thread.

Not nessesary. here is a sample portmanager output
with the following in pm-020.conf
databases/p5-BerkeleyDB|WITH_BDB_VER=42|
Notice specifically:
make fetch WITH_BDB_VER=42
make WITH_BDB_VER=42
If make fetch/clean/install etc is run portmanager does
apply WITH_BDB_VER=42, test for yourself before saying
such things, please.
