Should add that test.

This works:
if {[ns_getconfig -int section key 42]} {
...
}
ns_getconfig both uses and declares. It declares so that an admin can
set the correct value. Some code may only need to check whether a
buffer size is greater than zero (is it true?), but that doesn't make
it a boolean config option. A buffer size of 'no' doesn't make any
sense.
