	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.
