--- Comment #3 from Peter Wemm <peter at FreeBSD.org> ---
With no bdb already installed:

ports/databases/py-bsddb# make -V WITH_BDB_VER
48
ports/databases/py-bsddb# make debug-bdb      
--INPUTS----------------------------------------------------
PY27_BSDDB_WITH_BDB_VER: 
WITH_BDB_VER: 48
BDB_BUILD_DEPENDS: 
bdb_ARGS (original): 43+
WITH_BDB_HIGHEST (original): 
--PROCESSING------------------------------------------------
supported versions:  48 5 6
invalid versions: 
installed versions: 
eligible versions: 48 5
bdb_ARGS (effective): 48+
WITH_BDB_HIGHEST (override): yes
--OUTPUTS---------------------------------------------------
BDB_VER=5
BDB_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/include/db5
BDB_LIB_NAME=db-5.3
BDB_LIB_CXX_NAME=db_cxx-5.3
BDB_LIB_DIR=/usr/local/lib/db5
BUILD_DEPENDS=
LIB_DEPENDS=
------------------------------------------------------------

It appears that if there's no pre-installed version, it ignores the user's
choice and instead internally sets _WITH_BDB_HIGHEST.  This is a serious POLA
violation.
