Not exactly what you want, but on a Slackware 10.2 system, I use these 
options:

  ./configure --prefix=/usr \
    --with-bdb-libdir=DIR=/usr/lib \
    --with-bdb-incdir=/usr/include/db4

I have no problems at all, but I use saslauthd, and replaced sendmail 
with postfix. I use the same options on a 10.1 box where I installed 
cyrus-sasl from source.
