The security/heimdal package includes mk/bdb.buildlink3.mk, which
means that on Linux, it should be using <db1/db.h> and -ldb1 in the
base system if they both exist, or if they don't exist, then to use
databases/db4 by default.  The package should already be doing the right
thing.

Looking at pkg/31100, you can see that pkgsrc is doing the right thing.
The presence of -ldb4 in LIBS is evidence that pkgsrc is already pulling
in a db4 dependency because that bit comes from db4/buildlink3.mk.  The
PR submitter didn't give enough information to see what is going wrong
with the build on his system.
