OK, thanks guys.  This is the simplest workaround I could find until the
configure script is improved.

You can see it in wip/ncbi-blast+, which hopefully will be committed soon.

.if ${OPSYS} == NetBSD
# statfs is deprecated on NetBSD, but still exists in libc
# configure checks only for undefined reference, not for usability
CONFIGURE_ENV+=         ac_cv_func_statfs=no
.endif
