I have just run into a very similar problem building 2.1.3 on FreeBSD
4.6-STABLE. It seems that the 'configure' script does not take note of
its own --includedir flag when testing the db libraries so if your
include files and libs are not in places the compiler looks by default
you will get this error.

Setting CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS should solve the problem, but I think
some improvements to configure might be called for too.

I used:

export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include/db4"
export LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib
./configure     --prefix=/usr/local \
                --includedir=/usr/local/include/db4 \
                --enable-spasswd \
                --enable-aci \
                --enable-rewrite \
                --enable-dnssrv \
                --enable-ldap \
                --enable-meta \
                --enable-monitor \
                --enable-null \
                --enable-perl \
                --enable-shell
