I've been using the following on bsdi which works:

CFLAGS=-I$HOME/slang/include \
LIBS=-L$HOME/slang/lib \
configure --with-screen=slang --prefix=$HOME

BTW -- I still think that configure should define LYNX_CFG_FILE
to be $prefix/lib/lynx.cfg instead of hard-coding it to /usr/local/lib/lynx.cfg.
I don't think I should have to edit userdefs.h to do this
if I go through the trouble of specifying --prefix=whatever to configure.
My $.02.
