Would it make sense to switch to using ndbm as its default database support,
while you're updating?
Ndbm was added as an option in 2009 [1] after being requested in bug #83644,
but (understandably) the port continued using BDB as its default.
Considering the BDB18 license and it generally being an Oracle product, now
might be a perfect time to switch to ndbm as the default in order to keep in
line with the spirit of FreeBSD (if such a thing exists and I interpret it
correctly).
