no, but while you're here you can have a look to SQLClient on the 
GNUstep cvs -- it's a wrapper lib
for doing sql queries, with backends for databases.
Afaik there's no backend for Berkeley DB, but it would be nice to write 
one ;-)
Instead of Berkeley DB, you could also have a look to SQLite, which 
seems quite nice..

source, or .app.tgz ?

the problem of course is that the user will need to have GNUstep 
installed...
