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'.
