In MacPorts, we successfully use the following configure argument:

--with-berkeley-db=:${prefix}/include/db46:${prefix}/lib/db46:db-4.6

So, adapted to your BDB version and prefix, try:

--with-berkeley-db=:/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.5.1/include:/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.5.1/lib:db-5.1

Note that apr-util will also need to have been compiled against the same version of BDB.

That said, do you even need BDB support? Most people don't anymore and you could just use --without-berkeley-db to disable it.
