The MACHINES file states:

> Some BSD4.4 machines have problems when running nmh's configure script.
> They will be unable to find the location of vi and sendmail.  This is

>     % bash configure

The text dates to 1999, and I have never seen this behaviour when building on 
FreeBSD (going back to 2001, and possibly earlier).  Is anyone building on 
OpenBSD or NetBSD?  If so, please speak up with a yes or no about the validity 
of this warning.  I suspect the problem is long dead and the text can be 
deleted.
