I don't quite follow this.

If you doing this on a {Free,Net,Open}BSD box, you already have Byacc.
The "B" stands for Berkeley. The YACC in 4.2BSD (and maybe 4.3BSD) was
the AT&T one. Robert Paul Corbett wrote a free YACC and donated it to
Berkeley for BSD. Byacc has some features above AT&T YACC, thus
sometimes people refer to it as Byacc to note the distiction. On FreeBSD
/usr/bin/yacc and /usr/bin/byacc are links to the same file.
