I read your entire post and second your suggestions for the
future development of Amanda. It would be great if one could
specify the backup utilities used and their parameters via
configuration instead of via recompiling.

Short answer to your current problem: the FreeBSD port has got
an option to enable snapshots. If you choose to use them, it
patches the Amanda source.

Since the FreeBSD port maintainers in general seek to be as
non-intrusive as possible to 3rd party software, my educated
guess is that this is the only way to achieve the desired effect.
