Right now, you shouldn't have either devel/autoconf259 or 
devel/automake18 installed on your system (no other ports use it).

We're currently testing a rather large patch to bsd.autotools.mk and 
the tree to bring these in, along with some other long-past-due major 
cleanups to the whole system.

Please be patient - wide-sweeping changes like this take considerable 
time to work through, involving a couple of bento 4-exp runs, ironing 
out any missed bits, all the time whilst the ports tree is being 
constantly updated.
