Most people have both. However, if your distribution installs bison and not yacc and does *NOT* install the "bison as yacc" wrapper, you should complain to your distributor.
As far as "not always an option", that's ridiculous. If there really isn't someone around who can install it globally, then put it in ~/bin and set your PATH.
The command "yacc" should be expected to work. This is as insane as the flamage in the cdrecord documentation about Linux installing GNU make as "make".
