I'll do my best, not sure if I can help either (especially if they are FreeBSD
specific).

So you no longer have the problem where it was using the DB3.2.9 libs? At
least that is one positive thing (ducks).

Oh definitely:)

For the next little while I'm going to use Linux terminology that I know,
you may have to translate to FreeBSD. (also note that I am just throwing
out ideas).

I didn't modify this part of the configure script at all, but I have a good
guess of why this is:

Is /usr/local/BerekelyDB3.3/ in your ld.so.conf or $LD_LIBRARY_PATH?

C. Scott Ananian and I had the same problem until we took the space out
in between in "-L $dbdir/.libs -ldb3.3" at line 103 of
ac-helpers/berkeley-db.m4. But I have checked that in so you shouldn't be
having that problem anymore (at least not with that cause).

Well if DB was built in the tree, it should be looking for them in the
--prefix you specified to configure subversion (not
/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.3/ I'm guessing). Again is --prefix/lib in
ld.so.conf or LD_LIBRARY_PATH (of the user starting apache)?

I'm in the same boat as this.
