Only if you document it and document how to translate an option to a
config.site setting.

Site defaults should be independent of the package being installed.
I do not believe it would be wise for me to document how to translate
our package specific options using config.site.   However, it might
be appropriate to state the our configure script is autoconf 
generated.

See 'Setting Site Defaults' section in the autoconf manual for
setting site and machine defaults for autoconf generated configuration
scripts.
