This is a known problem with the apache22 port.  At the moment it only
understands about Berkeley DB versions up to 4.4.x -- there's an open
ticket in the PR system which requests support for versions up to 4.6.x:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/116637

Until that gets fixed, use BDB 4.4.x instead.  To make that the default
version on your system add this to /etc/make.conf:

  WITH_BDB_VER=           44

	Cheers,

	Matthew
