How to determine (in a port Makefile) if KSE is present?

I have a port which uses a static-linked 5.4 binary. This is broken in 8.0 due to KSE removal. I need to create a test and limit installation to only those versions on which it will run. Looking at the heads-up message for KSE removal from March 2008, I don't see a change to sys/sys/param.h,

How to port something requiring different versions depending on OSVERSION?

I maintain the sysutils/3dm port. The port installs a binary-only package provided by 3ware (now LSI). The binary provided is a 5.4-R, static-linked binary which requires KSE. Because it's static-linked, there is no legacy KSE support workaround. Yes, LSI is aware of the problem. No, they h
