If you mean the version of autoconf provided by Xcode, then I must inform you that Apple no longer includes autoconf in Xcode.

If you are using an older version of Xcode that still included autoconf, and you would like to use its autoconf instead of MacPorts', then you can either specify it by its full path (i.e. /usr/bin/autoconf) or you can temporarily deactivate MacPorts autoconf (i.e. "sudo port -f deactivate autoconf").
