Well, let's use 'cvs annotate':

smaug% cvs annotate bsd.pkg.mk | grep ac_cv
1.451        (hubertf  02-Jun-00):      ${_PKG_SILENT}${_PKG_DEBUG}cd ${WRKSRC} && ${SETENV} CC="${CC}" ac_cv_path_CC="${CC}" \

Oops...

smaug% cvs annotate -r1.450 bsd.pkg.mk | grep ac_cv
1.221        (agc      08-Mar-99):      ${_PKG_SILENT}(${_PKG_DEBUG}cd
${WRKSRC} && ${SETENV} CC="${CC}" ac_cv_path_CC="${CC}" \

smaug% cvs annotate -r1.220 bsd.pkg.mk | grep ac_cv
1.190        (mycroft  07-Nov-98):      @(cd ${WRKSRC} && ${SETENV} CC="${CC}" ac_cv_path_CC="${CC}" \


Looks as if it was added in rev. 1.221 by Al then:

----------------------------
revision 1.221
date: 1999/03/08 17:26:54;  author: agc;  state: Exp;  lines: +532 -382
Add Solaris support to pkgsrc, using Christos Zoulas' NetBSD emulation
package. Tested for some packages on Solaris 2.6 on Sparc.
----------------------------

uhum...
