There are several Berkeley-db ports: databases/db4, databases/db41, databases/db47 etc. I'm not sure exactly what the differences are between all these versions (although I do know that version 4 is incompatible with version 1), but they appear to have no further dependencies so you could just try them until you've found one that works. If the files are indeed Berkeley-db files, of course.

Hope this helps,

file(1) should be able to let you know if they are or not, without needing to install any ports first:

(0:1) www:/tmp# file /var/db/services.db 
/var/db/services.db: Berkeley DB 1.85 (Hash, version 2, native byte-order)

Indeed. And if they are indeed Berkeley-db files it might even tell you which version so you'll have a clue as to what version to install.
