OpenBSD uses SYSCONFDIR in it's Makefile:

SYSCONFDIR=             ${PREFIX}/lib/nmh

According to the  man page this is passed on  to GNU configure (probably
--sysconfdir=${PREFIX}/lib/nmh as an argument).

PREFIX is typically  /usr/local, which after nmh is  built and installed
results in  /usr/local/lib/nmh as the place  where default configuration
is found.
