I now see ImageMagick 3.9 has:
Enable LZW compression with -HasLZW. See Magick.tmpl or Makefile.in. 

I am running 3.8.9.  Oh, well, have to wait for a BSD/OS upgrade, or do
it myself.

Actually, changelog for 3.7.* say:
Rather than a separate LZW kit, Image Magic now comes as twodistributions. One with LZW compression      and one
without(suggested by pederl@norway.hp.com).
