Yes, have a look at how the FreeBSD ports does it:

perl -pi -e 's!HAVE_SETMODE!HAVE_SETMODE_DISABLE!' config.hin

Or doing some searches in gnu.utils.bug archives I see emails suggesting
changing all lines (common.h, patch.c, pch.c):

-#if HAVE_SETMODE
+#if HAVE_SETMODE && O_BINARY

By the way, NetBSD's fix is:

        ${MV} ${WRKSRC}/pch.c ${WRKSRC}/pch.c.orig
        ${AWK} '/#include <pch.h>/{print $$0 "\n#include <sys/param.h>";next;}\
                /^#if HAVE_SETMODE/                                     \
                {gsub(/^#if HAVE_SETMODE/,"#if defined(HAVE_SETMODE) \\&\\& 
(!(defined(BSD) \\&\\& BSD >= 199306))");print $$0; next; }                 \
                {print $$0;}'                                           \
                < ${WRKSRC}/pch.c.orig                                  \
                > ${WRKSRC}/pch.c
