Ah, very good.  You're welcome.

Many ports do something like check whether WITH_BDB_VER is defined to
something in order to register a properly dependency.  If you can figure out
which versions of BDB are supported with your software, then you error with a
warning if too old a version is chosen, or you can do something like choose a
reasonable default value if none is already set....

All you need to do is add the following to the port:

USE_BDB= 42+
INVALID_BDB_VER= 2 3 40 41

And it will give an error if WITH_BDB_VER is set to a value lower than 42.
