How about this instead,:

CPPFLAGS+=	-I${LOCALBASE}/include/db${BDB_VER}
LDFLAGS+=	-L${LOCALBASE}/lib/db{BDB_VER}
CONFIGURE_ENV+=	CPPFLAGS="${CPPFLAGS}" LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS}"

That way, third-party apps will link against -ldb, 
and no patching will be required.

As a bonus, db{3,4,41,...} ports will comply with hier(7). ;)
