The same thing happened to me this weekend.

I went to

/opt/local/var/db/dports/sources/ 
rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dports/kde/kdelibs3

and edited the Portfile

by replacing the lines

depends_build   	port:autoconf \
                			port:automake

with

depends_build   port:automake

and it worked!

I know that I probably shouldn't, and that the maintainer needs to  
know so that it can be fixed, but in the meantime it worked.

Fingers continually crossed.
