Did you try updating the ports sources via cvsup? If not, perhaps you can try that so you will have latest ports sources, which might have this issue corrected. If not, you can also go to the ftp servers of freebsd, and download the /distfile you need (automake and autoconf for example) and install them with pkg_install <filename> That way you have a precompiled binary, which you can use, so that perhaps the issue goes away.
