I am using org-mode version 20131021 and the latest checkout of the
bbdb3 git repository. Although I have the following lines in my main
.org file:
* Anniversaries
:PROPERTIES:
:CATEGORY: Anniv
:END:
%%(org-bbdb-anniversaries)
I do not see anniversaries from my .bbdb file in the agenda. I know that
some work was done in the past with making org-mode compatible with
bbdb3, but are the two projects no longer compatible, or do I probably
have some other problem on my end?

I am using older versions.

I think you might need:
(setq org-bbdb-anniversary-field 'birthday)
or
(setq org-bbdb-anniversary-field 'anniversary)
depending on what you called the anniversary field.
If you work out how to display birthdays and anniversaries in the same
agenda please share.

My anniversary field in ~/.bbdb is called "anniversary". Setting this
option has no effect for me: I still do not see bbdb anniversaries in
the org-mode agenda.

Works fine here (I am using the git version of both). How are you
loading bbdb? You should just do a:
(require 'bbdb-loaddefs)

You mean bbdb-autoloads?

No, bbdb-loaddefs.el is part of bbdb3. Here is the instructions from the
README file:
4) Activate BBDB:
i) If the BBDB lisp files are in a directory
"/path/to/bbdb/lisp" you can use in your emacs init file
(require 'bbdb-loaddefs "/path/to/bbdb/lisp/bbdb-loaddefs.el")
This adds "/path/to/bbdb/lisp" to the load-path; so it is all
you need to make BBDB known to your Emacs.
ii) The user variable bbdb-print-tex-path should point to the directory
where the BBDB TeX files reside (default /usr/local/share/bbdb).

Weird.
In the BBDB 3 version that I have from ELPA [1], I do have a file
`bbdb-autoloads.el', but no `bbdb-loaddefs.el'...

Strange, the name was changed on 11 Dec 2011:

I believe the %% construct is recognized only at the beginning of a
line: try deleting the white space in front.

Thanks, that did the trick. I can now see BBDB anniversaries in my agenda.
