FWIW, the way this is handled in src/tools is to assert that the first "sh"
on the PATH will be POSIX-conformant (indeed, that the environment in
general will be).  I can appreciate that this may not fit the pkgsrc way of
doing things, though.

I think you've removed the last use of _PATH_BSHELL from make, so you can
remove the corresponding parts of src/usr.bin/make/pathnames.h and
src/tools/make/configure.ac.
