Check out this https://groups.google.com/g/openthread-users/c/PpGYsTLcfQQ/m/t0mHS7qSAgAJ discussion in the openthread users group. At present, you need to make a couple changes to OpenThread source, then re-build the libraries used in your application project.

Stuart at VRT systems has a fork of OpenThread that automates this process more automated, particularly if you can use a standard NCP build output. Also note if you're using your NCP in an OpenThread Border Router, you're probably going to want to migrate to the RCP architecture (vs. NCP, which is being deprecated in otbr).

I don't know if it is enough to set the preprocessor defines. You likely also need to call nrf_802154_fem_control_cfg_set in addition, or possible PlatformFemSetConfigParams in OpenThread.
