Comment (by macports@…):

 Replying to [comment:1 ryandesign@…]:
 > I'm unable to reproduce this; it builds fine for me and I see no
 occurrences of "automake-1.11" in the source code. Seeing your main.log
 file might help.

 As I said, the main.log was deleted after a successful workaround.  I know
 it was calling 1.11 because when I made a link from automake-1.11 to
 automake-1.13 it worked.

 There seems to be a somewhat different problem with several unrelated
 ports using the newer automake/autoconf, for instance I get this same
 error on multiple ports:

 :

 In that case editing configure.ac to replace AM_CONFIG_HEADER with
 AC_CONFIG_HEADERS resulted in a successful build.

 ( One Inkscape dev has noticed the same issue:
 https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1094576 - that diff may be
 broadly useful.)
