Like so:

$./configure --prefix=/usr/local/subversion-1.4.2 \
   --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs \
   --with-ssl \
   --with-jdk=/usr/java/jdk \
   --enable-javahl \
   --with-berkeley-db

on a Red Hat ES 4.0 system, which has BDB 4.2 installed by default:

$ rpm --query --all | grep "db4-"
db4-4.2.52-7.1
db4-utils-4.2.52-7.1
db4-devel-4.2.52-7.1
