Sendmail 8.9.1 has no problems using the FreeBSD db code, DB 2.0 is not required. I think the actual requirement is for something at least as new as 1.5, though they do talk about bugs in 1.5. In the future, DB < 2.00 compatibility may be phased out (not discussed, just being realistic) but it hasn't happened yet.
