I think I fixed this. The correct config option is --enable-inkboard.
The Inkscape wiki also wanted a "prefix" defined containing the path to
the installed program, so my additions to the Makefile ended up being:

CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --prefix=/usr/local/bin/inkscape
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --enable-inkboard

After that I did

make rmconfig
make configure

and the Inkboard option changed from no to yes.

make
make deinstall
make reinstall

and now my Inkscape has a Whiteboard menu, as described on the Inkscape
wiki. Don't know if it works, but at least it's there.
