Oops, yes:

http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/test.html

tells me that POSIX does not know about -ef.  So that would be

if test $pkg = sam2p; then
  dir1=$(cd $srcdir/utils/sam2p; pwd)
  dir2=$(cd utils/sam2p; pwd)
  if test "$dir1" != "$dir2"; then
    # doing things
  fi
fi
