Comment(by mb-macports@…):

 That was something I'd noticed as well, so I looked in the autoconf
 package and there is no bin directory.  It's not terribly long, here's its
 contents:

 So I uninstalled and cleaned autoconf and reinstalled it, and now it looks
 like it installed a few files to /opt/local/bin.  Re-running the automake
 installation seems to now work as well, too.

 Any idea what went wrong with autoconf installation from a clean install?
