IIRC, in the freebsd ports makefile, I found:
# WITH_BDB_VER is the version of the Berkeley DB library to use, and
# may be 1, which corresponds to version 1.85 in the base system, 4,
# 41 or 42 which depends on the databases/db4[12] ports.
WITH_BDB_VER?=42
Which does what you are asking about. I have never used Darwinports.
