Hi, I am seeing what seems to be this issue on a number of boxes. When
trying to build gettext
===> Building for gettext-0.10.35
cd . && /usr/ports/devel/gettext/work/gettext-0.10.35/missing aclocal -I m4
WARNING: `aclocal' is missing on your system. You should only need it if
you modified `acinclude.m4' or `configure.in'. You might want
to install the `Automake' and `Perl' packages. Grab them from
any GNU archive site.
cd . && autoheader
./aclocal.m4:49: error: m4_defn: undefined macro: _m4_divert_diversion
acoldnames.m4:86: AM_PROG_INSTALL is expanded from...
./aclocal.m4:49: the top level

This is on ports as of today.
