It depends what you mean, exactly.  If you edit conf-cc, create a new
tarball with that modification, and distribute it, then I'd say you're
obviously violating the letter.  OTOH, if you distribute an unmodified
tarball along with a script that makes the above change and then
builds and installs qmail, I guess you'd be ok.  But the same is true
for the plain old errno patch.
