It really doesn't. It only requires those packages if you want to modify the makefiles or the configure script, which most of the people who download curl have no intention of doing. If you *are* going to list what software that's needed to develop the software, surely autoconf-2.13 and m4-1.4 should be present on almost every package you have listed in the ports section. And more, curl 7.3 is out.
