Did you take a look at GNU-dbm? (GDBM). It works great for me on linux,
sunos4 and hp-ux. I'd expect it to run fine on freebsd as well. It's very
easy to use and pretty quick. Check it out at any GNU-mirror.

The documentation is only 10 pages or so, but really contains all you'll
ever need.

If you have any questions, feel free to email me.
