I've got a similar list of dependencies but only subversion and
apr actually use BDB.  The rest seem to be dependencies on apr.

I went a step further and set "WITH_BDB_VER=5" in /etc/make.conf and
proceeded to update.  At the end, I still had db42-4.2.52_5.  I
suspect it was because that neither apr or subversion needed updated.

I'm not sure if I should switch the origin of BDB for involved ports,
do forced rebuild of a few ports or if doing a recursive update is
needed.  Some additional direction would be much appreciated.

My eyes glazed over trying to read the Wiki link to updating since
I don't know database vocabulary so you're not alone ;-)
