seems that macro was deprecated in 8.3... this is the commit that removed it:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2007-02/msg00517.php

The new comment says:

Why you need that macro at all? Now, of you really need it maybe you
can make your own wrapper in ine of your includes:

#define VARATT_SIZEP(_PTR) \
VARATT_SIZEP_DEPRECATED(PTR)
