Those symbols are from Berkeley DB. This implies that somewhere you have
included headers for BDB but can't find the BDB libraries at link time.
My Make script is this:
make -f Makefile.init dynamicmaps=yes CCARGS='-DHAS_MYSQL
-I/usr/local/include/mysql -DUSE_TLS -DUSE_SASL_AUTH -DUSE_CYRUS_SASL
-I/opt/local/include/sasl
-I/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include/sasl
-DDEF_SERVER_SASL_TYPE=\"dovecot\" -DHAS_PCRE -I/opt/local/include
Hmmm.... Looks like you are building against both stuff installed under
/usr/local (used by Homebrew and many OSS projects by default) and under
/opt/local (typically MacPorts) and if you have a version of BDB
installed in either tree, Postfix may find its headers and so expect to
be able to find implementations of its symbols at link time.
Complicating matters, in any event the configure stage will find
/usr/include/db.h, the header for the original simpler Berkeley DB
implementation built into macOS.

So that's Homebrew...

Unless you've done an unusual installation of BDB, nothing here will
find a BDB implementation. You would need a '-L' option pointing to the
installation directory and '-ldb' telling the linker to load the db
library.
Also note: You MAY have libraries in that jumble linked against one or
more existing BDB installations and that becomes a mess pretty fast.
any ideas where to turn?
Find where you've got a Berkeley DB implementation installed and see the
Postfix DB_README for details. Alternatively, you could just use the
MacPorts port of Postfix and have it handle all the details for you,
rather than grabbing random components from the base, Homebrew, manual
installations, and MacPorts. Build consistency across Postfix and its
dependencies is critical and using MacPorts would assure that for you.
