AFAIK the autotools situation is as follows: The plain autotools packages are for the use in the ports collection. If you want to participate in the development of 3rd party software on FreeBSD you have to use the gnu-XXX verions of the autotools (e.g. devel/gnu-automake). If some of those are outdated, feel free to submit updates to the maintainer.
