An OS upgrade will often upgrade BDB, yeah. You could look at
/usr/include/db.h (assuming that's where Berkeley's headers are) and
poke around for something like this:

   /*
    * Berkeley DB version information.
    */
   #define DB_VERSION_MAJOR 4
   #define DB_VERSION_MINOR 2
   #define DB_VERSION_PATCH 50
   #define DB_VERSION_STRING "Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 4.2.50: (November 20, 2003)"

As for solutions: I'm not sure, but if you could compile a Subversion
statically against the old libs, you could run 'svnadmin dump' on the
repository, save the dumpfile, recreate the repository with a newly
compiled Subversion, and load it? I'm winging it here, though.
