Comment(by leandroal@…):

 Diego,
      I have tried to install this port using +no_java, but no luck too.
 So, I decided to debug the error and discovered that the db.h file
 referenced by the db46 source code is a wrong version installed in my
 computer. So, I have talked to the guys in the #macports and described the
 situation. I did not have time to discover why my db.h file installed in
 the /usr/includes was a wrong version, but I asked someone the in chat to
 send his db.h file. I then backed up my db.h and copy his db.h to
 /usr/includes. After this, I did port install db46 and voilá!
      I suspected that a port installed a wrong db.h file into my
 /usr/includes directory, causing this problem. Also, I don't know if this
 is the source of the problem of someone else, but I suppose to be, at
 least the includes paths used by the compiler have a wrong directory
 order, cause a wrong db.h be included during the compilation process.

      I'm sure that this should be deeply investigated, because I have
 found people reporting this kind of problem since 2004, at least.

      Hope that I helped you and please let me know any issue or real fix
 for this.

 Thank you,
 Leandro.
