I'll answer my own question.  Modify this in the config.Imakefile:

   #ifdef NDBM
   DBMFLAG=-DNDBM
   KDB_LIB=$(KDB_LIBDEP)
   #else

to be this:

   #ifdef NDBM
   DBMFLAG=-DNDBM
   KDB_LIB=$(KDB_LIBDEP) -L/usr/local/lib -lgdbm
   #else

(assuming you've got /usr/local/lib/libgdbm.a).

My database of 23,000 principals now occupies only 8.5MB.  With
ndbm, it occupies 25MB (and looks to be 200MB due to sparsity).

Oh, and gzip compresses that 8.5MB down to under 1MB...which is
about 1/2 the size of the dumped text version.  Great for doing 
those nightly tape backups.  :-)
