New description:

 While installing the binary libetpan ports package, I get an error
 referencing a failure to run autoconf. This appears to be due to the
 source code not being installed when I install the binary.

 It appears the binary package did not populate the source directory, which
 kind of sounds like it might be expected behavior?

Comment (by jmroot):

 This doesn't look like a clean build attempt. Please run `sudo port clean
 libetpan`, try the installation again, and if it still fails, attach the
 main.log to this ticket.
