Nope.  "-db" is a typo in the released README.osx.  Run "./configure
--help" and you'll see that options include:

  --with-libsqlite3-prefix[=DIR]  search for libsqlite3 in DIR/include and DIR/lib
  --without-libsqlite3-prefix     don't search for libsqlite3 in includedir and libdir
  --with-libtdb-prefix[=DIR]  search for libtdb in DIR/include and DIR/lib
  --without-libtdb-prefix     don't search for libtdb in includedir and libdir
  --with-libqdbm-prefix[=DIR]  search for libqdbm in DIR/include and DIR/lib
  --without-libqdbm-prefix     don't search for libqdbm in includedir and libdir
  --with-libdb-prefix[=DIR]  search for libdb in DIR/include and DIR/lib
  --without-libdb-prefix     don't search for libdb in includedir and libdir
  --with-included-gsl     force use of shipped GSL rather than system GSL
  --with-gsl-prefix=PFX   Prefix where GSL is installed (optional)
  --with-gsl-exec-prefix=PFX Exec prefix where GSL is installed (optional)

but not:

  --with-libdb-prefix-db

I'll let Matthias handle this part :-)
