While I like this in general, how this will interact with ports like  
the php5 port that override the command? php5 does this:

depends_build \
     port:pkgconfig \
     port:autoconf213

[snip]

use_autoconf            yes
autoconf.cmd            ${prefix}/bin/autoconf213

So now due to the above change a dependency on autoconf gets added  
even though php5 won't be using a binary called autoconf.	

I guess the unnecessary autoconf port won't actually be installed  
because MacPorts will find the autoconf in /usr/bin to satisfy it...  
Hmm...
