No, unless write the build glues.  /usr/src/lib/libc/db was a trimmed 
down and customized version of Berkeley DB 1.86, and it's not intended 
for standard alone use (and therefore, it's unlikely that we would 
accept changes to add build glues for it to build it as a standard alone 
library).

If you need Berkeley DB 1.85 (or 1.86), you should be able to find the 
original tarball on the Internet and start from there.

Cheers,
