Over a third of those (those I originally listed) are port-independent.

Specifically,

kern/init_main.c:#ifdef REAL_CLISTS
kern/uipc_socket.c:#ifdef	MAPPED_MBUFS
ufs/lfs/lfs_alloc.c:#ifdef ALLOCPRINT
ufs/lfs/lfs_segment.c:#ifdef TRIPLE

RASTERCONS_SMALLFONT was not one I found through grepping, but it turns
out to be in arch/sparc/dev/rcons_font.h.  I could point to
COLORFONT_CACHE and RASTERCONS_WONB, though, which are in dev/rcons.
