Yep.  The first fruits of my acinclude.m4 revolution:

# test for devices
AC_DEFUN([XASTIR_DETECT_DEVICES],
[
AC_MSG_CHECKING([for devices])
if test -c com1 ; then
ac_tnc_port=com1
ac_gps_port=com2
elif test -c /dev/cuaa0 ; then
ac_tnc_port=/dev/cuaa0
ac_gps_port=/dev/cuaa1
elif test -c /dev/ttyS0 ; then
ac_tnc_port=/dev/ttyS0
ac_gps_port=/dev/ttyS1
elif test -c /dev/cua/a ; then
ac_tnc_port=/dev/cua/a
ac_gps_port=/dev/cua/b
else
ac_tnc_port=none
ac_gps_port=none
fi

AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED([TNC_PORT], "$ac_tnc_port", [Default TNC port.])
AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED([GPS_PORT], "$ac_gps_port", [Default GPS port.])
AC_MSG_RESULT(found $ac_tnc_port and $ac_gps_port)
])
