autoconf
autoheader
autom4te
autoreconf
autoscan
autoupdate

The libtool build was failing because it was finding autoconf without
the version suffix. The files that I deleted were all several years old,
even though I did a "portupgrade -af" sometime last year.

Try checking all of the questionable files with "pkg_info -W" so see if
they are claimed by any ports.
