Sam, I just got done compiling bogofilter on FreeBSD and had the same
error. When you installed BerkeleyDB di it create a directory called
BerkeleyDB.4.1 or something like that? At any rate here is my config
line that I had to use, maybe it might help you.

env CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.1/include/db3 LIBS=-ldb3
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/Berkeley.4.1/lib sh ./configure \
--with-db=/usr/local/Berkeley.4.1
