I edited the ports/Mk/bsd.default-versions.mk, rebuilt all of the ports
that depend on BDB and that worked.

Just tried devel/apr1 and it was happy to build against bdb18. This is
after an update to ports/Mk has replaced the 18 with 5. I see bsd.sanity.mk
has several references to BDB and ports/Mk/Uses/bdb.mk has some stuff that
really tries to build things with 18.

apr-1.7.0.1.6.1_2:
expat-2.4.8
gdbm-1.23
db18-18.1.40

Note that I no longer have db5 installed... only db18.
