In fact, if you don't install any DB packages, at least on the BSDs, you
get DB 1.85 built in to libc because that's what backs /etc/passwd.db.
OpenDKIM even includes support for that version, mostly for that reason.

But yes, the ports tree contains versions from 4.0.14 through 5.3.21.
I'll look at updating my automated test stuff to try all of the ones I
have installed, and make sure I have all of them.
