Is this MBEDTLS_PK_ECKEY flag supported on all mbedtls versions or is there a risk that this will break the build for some?

A quick skim of the code seems to imply that usage of MBEDTLS_PK_ECKEY depends on MBEDTLS_ECP_C.

If you mean historically, I think it dates back from the polarssl days : Mbed-TLS/mbedtls@211a64c

So it probably have been available in all mbedtls versions.

Yes confirmed, It then have been renamed to the actual name - without polarssl reference - in mbedtls release 2.0 : https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/blob/4cb87f409df0ddd878ea50cfca7dc8735ee574f2/include/mbedtls/pk.h#L74
