How exactly does it fail?  What's the output of the following?

	make show-var VARNAME=BDB_TYPE

bdb.buildlink3.mk is set up to try using, in order: native BDB, db4,
db3, then db2, so if there is no native BDB implementation, it should
be falling through to using db4.  The test for whether a native BDB
implementation exists is simply (naively) testing if either
/usr/include/db.h or /usr/include/db1/db.h exist.

If you want to force the use of a particular BDB implementation, you
can, e.g., set in your /etc/mk.conf:

	BDB_DEFAULT=	db2
