FYI, I think you are attacking the problem the wrong way:
1. Don't use the devel/automake19 port for development work with automake.
AFAIK, this port is not a full automake19 package, but a special port
of automake, which provides just barely enough automake support for
the Ports tree.
For local automake-based development, you should either use the
devel/gnu-automake port instead, or roll your own installation of
automake and friends, from a clean source tarball of automake-1.9.6
2. Why do you have to install automake19 for Subversion?
Does the devel/subversion port require it? I don't see a dependency
for automake in `ports/devel/subversion/Makefile'.
