Portability isn't that big a deal in this case.  As with
autoconf/automake, you don't necessarily have to require the presence
of all of the build tools on the target platform.  It's quite common to
ship the flex/bison-generated source (they generate .c files) with the
distribution tarball.  Then, the only people who need flex/bison are
the project developers (those who play with CVS), or anyone who modifies
one of the flex/bison input files.
