Which means you should ask the author of the port on that forum to
fix this problem.  :-)

Ah, right -- we have no autoconf 2.61 port.  I believe ade@ could
comment on why that is.  You could try removing the USE_AUTOTOOLS line
altogether.

There are wrappers and other things for auto-tools on FreeBSD, so this
isn't a very good test.

I would recommend you talk to the author of this port and ask him to
update his suite/software to use autoconf 2.62.  Either way, this port
is not something in the FreeBSD ports tree; you'll need to talk to the
author.
