it's 1.8.x.

DB 2.* has a new and different license, which, because of the goals of
the NetBSD project, is unacceptable for inclusion in our libc.


As for the rest of your questions, I really don't have a clue.
However, i'd bet that if you install db as an optional, local library,
etc., it'll work out just fine.  (I wouldn't try to integrate it into
your libc, if that's what you were thinking of doing...)
