It's not that difficult.  Just add #undef lines to src/conf.h.in for your
variables, then set up an appropriate AC_ARG_WITH() in the configure.ac file
(there are examples already in there) with appropriate AC_DEFINE statements.
Of course, you'll need to have Autoconf and Automake installed to test it out
with.  Then do:

1. make maintainer-clean
2. aclocal; autoconf; autoheader; automake --add-missing
3. configure; make; make install

However, isn't this all already handled by the Syslog() and SyslogFacility()
calls in cfagent?
