You can try doing a "catastrophic recovery" using the BDB's db tools. I can't remember the command line to drive it, you'll need to look that up in the documentation.
FWIW, BDB and Mac OS X is a very hateful relationship. I remember there being lots of issues between the two. You'd do better to migrate to a newer version of svn, and make your repositories FSFS instead.
