Is there a configure option that is explicitly dependent upon the home

Not that I know of. What is dependent is that the .amandahosts file
will be located in the home directory of the amanda user.
For example, must "--sysconfdir" agree with the home directory of the
amanda user?

PS: bonus question: Is "--sharedstatedir" rarely used, not applicable,
or possibly obsolete?
Rather than set each of these values, you could try using --prefix,
which will put all of them under a particular root folder. Usually, I
run "./configure --prefix=/usr/local/amanda ...", and then make the
home directory for the amanda user be /usr/local/amanda. This way,
everything (excepting /etc/amandates and /etc/dumpdates) is located in
/usr/local/amanda.
