As a temporary work around, just add a link in /usr/lib from 
/usr/lib/libdb-5.1.so -> libdb-5.2.so:

13:14 providence:~> sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/libdb-5.2.so /usr/lib/libdb-5.1.so
13:14 providence:~> sudo /etc/rc.d/postfix restart

That will bring postfix back up until the package is updated. Then don't forget 
to remove the link later...
