Comment(by ryandesign at macports.org):

 Replying to [comment:21 jmr@…]:
 > The problem with upgrading autoconf is actually that depspecs are auto-
 escaped, so variable substitution is not done, so it ends up looking for
 /opt/local/\${prefix}/bin/perl (because the prefix is prepended to any
 path that doesn't start with a slash.)
 I filed a bug for this: #17182.
