Nevermind. I figured out what was going on, so for the archives and documenting my silliness :-)
I assumed when specifying USE_SYSTRACE=Yes it uses systrace for every step of the build. Apparently this is only true for /bin/sh /usr/bin/env /usr/bin/make and gmake. So at first glance looks like we don't cover configure scripts. But a closer look at the inf mk files configure scripts are invoked in the form of $MODSIMPLE_configure which invokes configure in $WRKCONF using $SETENV (i.e., /usr/bin/env. OK...I think I'm understanding some of this port stuff a bit better now. I'd appreciate it if someone in the know-how could correct me if I'm wrong or direct me in a more proper direction if I'm way off base.
