Might be worth a try. >=20 autotools are generally just build dependencies for any of the ports that you'ld want run on a machine -- ie. they only need to be there at the point you build the port. Once you've installed whatever it is, you can delete just auto{conf,make} etc. portmaster(1) even has options to do that automatically. You'll tend to end up with many different versions of autotools installed over time, as ports get updated to use more recent versions. Occasionally purging them all does no harm, and will save you a small amount of disk space.
