Yes, default packages are not affected, but building luit non-setuid by 
default isn't a good choice in the first place due to this luit(1) quote:

   On  systems  without SVR4 ("Unix-98") ptys (notably BSD variants), run-
   ning luit as an ordinary user will leave the tty  world-writable;  this
   is  a security hole, and luit will generate a warning (but still accept
   to run). A possible solution is to make luit suid  root;

Yes. There was single line, which is enough:
CFLAGS+=	-DBSD
