"In a digital camera you are not "exposing" film to light, therefore there is no correlation between shutter speed and aperture size. If this is the case, how can you vary the focal depth ?"

Ah, you're not exposing film, but you are exposing CCD's (charge-coupled diodes) in an array simulating a piece of film. Thus, all you have done is change the mode of detection, not the stuff that is being detected. Check out Nikon's specs for the E3 digital camera, which is their best simulation of a film camera to date. You'll find the specs are exactly the ones important for film photography (except the extra ones):
