Look for ports with CONFIGURE_ENV=ac_cv_header_sys_inotify_h=no.

No. Only those not using pkg-config. -linotify doesn't exist on Linux, so it
always comes with a .pc file (unless older than 20170711). autotools and meson
support pkg-config just fine, cmake uses modules to reinvent pkg-config but the
support is good if required module exists, gmake and bmake[1] can cache
pkg-config output via $(shell ...) and ${SH:!...!}.

[1] bmake caching have to be in submake *after* pkg-config is installed as
${SH:!...!} is evaluated at parsing time. gmake isn't affected because it's
only used to parse vendor's Makefile while port's Makefile is parsed by bmake.
