The first match that caught my eye in pkgsrc is archivers/pax/Makefile.
Something like:

.include "../../mk/bsd.prefs.mk"
.if defined(LIBNBCOMPAT_STYLE) && (${LIBNBCOMPAT_STYLE} == "inplace")
.  include "../../pkgtools/libnbcompat/inplace.mk"
.else
.  include "../../pkgtools/libnbcompat/buildlink3.mk"
.endif

The buildlink3.mk will add -lnbcompat to LIBS, and since GNU_CONFIGURE
is defined in Makefile.common, there will be an automatic
CONFIGURE_ENV+=	LIBS="${LIBS}".

I did not test any of this.
