Unfortunately not. Interpreting the --with-berkeley-db to point out the 
  library as well as the include files would potentially work for the 
compile, but the code would then refuse to run unless LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
was configured correctly to help the httpd binary find the library it needs.

Library finding is different on each platform, which is probably why 
this is not documented in the httpd compile docs. It is very frustrating 
though to be in the position where it should work and just doesn't, so I 
agree, it should be in an FAQ somewhere.
