If you're making a port, you should have put something like :
USE_SDL= net (etc, following requirements)
If this still doesn't work then you may want to add :
CONFIGURE_ENV= "CPPFLAGS=${LOCALBASE}/include" \
"LDFLAGS=${LOCALBASE}/lib"
There could be some other problems if the Makefile is written to
call sdl-config, look at some examples in ${PORTSDIR}/games and
see how they use REINPLACE_CMD.
This should help configure to find required headers and
libraries.

Sorry but I have no clue for that, never tried to cross-compile
DOS program on FreeBSD.
