I now see ImageMagick 3.9 has:

Enable LZW compression with -HasLZW. See Magick.tmpl or Makefile.in.

I am running 3.8.9. Oh, well, have to wait for a BSD/OS upgrade, or do
it myself.

Actually, changelog for 3.7.* say:

Rather than a separate LZW kit, Image Magic now comes as two
distributions. One with LZW compression
and one without (suggested by pederl(at)norway(dot)hp(dot)com).
