See the Wikipedia page for musical quotation. This was quite common in classical music and I don't think it would be considered unethical in the sense that we would think about "plagiarism" today. | |

I'm willing to believe the resemblance is coincidence (or just a sign that Beethoven's works have influenced Dvorak). | |

I'm not posting this as an answer because I haven't really studied the piece's history, so I am not confident in my conclusion. But I seem to recollect that Dvorak was trying to fit the music of underprivileged American groups into the great classical tradition. If I'm right, it is probably a purposeful reference, meant to evoke Beethoven directly. | |
