What about FSFS-based?

      Berkeley DB is needed to build a Subversion server that supports
      the bdb repository filesystem, or to access a bdb repository on
      local disk.  If you will only use the fsfs repository filesystem,
      or if you are building a Subversion client that will only speak
      to remote (networked) repositories, you don't need it.

So basically, if you build a bdb-based repo and want to access it
locally, you already have a bdb-based client (it's the same binary that
created the repo). We warn against building a bdb-based repo, and since
you don't need bdb support to access a remote bdb repo, bdb can be
removed from the equation altogether.
