Dear Amanda,
Somehow you think I asked a question about SystemConfiguration; I did
no such thing. I suggested the include call would not work as written. I
was wrong in fact, if not in principle.

Thank you. My last instruction in C was on a VAX, and your discourse is most illuminating. The other systems were AT&T 3B1 and 3B2 surplus that I took care of at school. That should date me pretty well.
We're not comparing seniority, last I checked (though several of us go much farther back than that). You asked a question, you got an answer, and you didn't like the answer. Puffing up your ego and whining about the platform you're asking for help about is not going to help.
So, to get back to your original question:
SystemConfiguration is a userland API, not a kernel API, and is not available to kernel extensions. Nor does the Darwin kernel have a concept of a "primary" interface (something it shares with most UNIX and UNIX-like kernels). What are you trying to implement? Perhaps with a description of your goal, some of us could make some suggestions about how you can accomplish what you need.
