Comment (by ryandesign):

 ''Not'' running `autoreconf` is preferred; we only want to use
 `autoreconf` if there's a reason to do so. Looks like it was initially
 added in [05ec0097df09635392ab134d8fa7ea7304160643/macports-ports] when it
 was necessary to patch the build system. The build system patch was
 removed in [a8e7dcaa0ce500e22d41e027abfe8594e943eb0b/macports-ports] and
 `use_autoreconf yes` should have been removed at that time, unless there
 is a second reason why `autoreconf` is being used. It's a good idea always
 to put a comment above the `use_autoreconf yes` line to explain why it is
 being used, so that if that reason goes away the necessity for the line
 can be reexamined.
