This means that configure will fail if ifconfig is not installed but
want_ifconfig was set. Are you certain enough that FreeBSD is likely to
have ifconfig by default, and thus not hit this failure except on
extremely unlikely configurations?
ifconfig is a part of FreeBSD base system. And appears it's not even
possible to disable installing it via make.conf [1]. So I doubt there
are a lot of systems without ifconfig, and even if they exist I'm not
sure we need to support them because, as you said, it's extremely
unlikely configuration.

But I think it looks simple enough, with minimal risk of causing
grief
on non-BSD systems (the configure check is guarded, so IFCONFIG_PATH is
likely to be unset on other platforms). ACK and pushed.
