no - it is the job of the sysadmin to put piddir somewhere sane.

In that case could we remove
(umask 022 ; $(srcdir)/mkinstalldirs $(DESTDIR)$(PRIVSEP_PATH))
because it is the job of the sysadmin to do this ;-) ?

I agree with Damien we should not be making the directory for the PID file.
If the admin sets a custom pid file path then they are on their own.

We DO warn if the specified piddir doesn't exist.
....
if test ! -d $piddir ; then
AC_MSG_WARN([** no $piddir directory on this system **])
fi
....

That's a clue to ethier specify a different piddir or create it.

What about to DO warn out of AC_ARG_WITH(pid-dir....) statement in configure ?
