Gussing from error message, what you need should be
"USE_AUTOCONF=yes" or "USE_AUTOMAKE=yes".
Usually autogen.sh is to execute preprocess tools for GNU configure
such as aclocal, automake and autoconf.
To avoid those tools to run multiple time, I would like to recommend
bypassing autogen.sh and let same tools call from Makefile. If it
isn't enough, "pre-configure:" would be help.
devel/graphviz port is an example how to cope with issue like this.
