There is an additional complication.
Subversion does not include db.h directly. It uses
[[[
#define APU_WANT_DB
#include <apu_want.h>
]]]
using apr-util. You need to patch all occurences of this (all within
libsvn_fs_base/) to include the BDB headers without assistance from
apr-util.

Is the apr(-util) version included with the OS definitely too old?
./configure rejects 0.9.4 because *some* dev versions of apr which called
themselves 0.9.4 were too old, but later versions, and what was actually the
0.9.4 release, work fine.
It would certainly simplify the situation if you could use the system
apr/apr-util.
Max.
