The logic is there, in apr-util/buildlink3.mk:

pkgbase := apr-util
.include "../../mk/pkg-build-options.mk"

.if !empty(PKG_BUILD_OPTIONS.apr-util:Mdb4)
BDB_ACCEPTED?=          db4 db5
.  include "../../mk/bdb.buildlink3.mk"
.endif

This checks the options for the apr-util package and then sets
BDB_ACCEPTED.

So you'll have to debug what goes wrong in that part. Perhaps run make
in debug mode and check if this code triggers, and where BDB_ACCEPTED
is modified.
