Do you mean making the default ‘--enable-site-fndir’ independent of
installation prefix to “/usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions”?

I think that would make sense. Thinking about it a little more, I find
it a bit out of the ordinary that ‘site-functions’ would *not* be within
“/usr/local”. (Personally, I rarely see that situation myself, because I
either use debian's zsh package or build from source with installation
prefix set to the default, which is “/usr/local”.
