The option would be --with-libdb-prefix, but I doubt that will work.

Please type:

yast -i db-devel

Then try:

CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/include/db4 ./configure

Note it is not sensible to compile bogofilter in 64-bit mode, everything
is 32-bit internally, so going 64-bit is wasteful without benefit.

The only exception would be systems that execute 32-bit code a lot
slower than 64-bit code - this isn't the case for the Athlon64 series
and siblings.
