Ah, right, OK. That makes my life easier then :-)

Yes, there is a macro called USE_AUTOTOOLS, although I'm not entirely 
sure how it works. I'm not exactly an autoconf guru either.
The FreeBSD project has it documented at 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/book.html#USING-AUTOCONF

As it happens I'm about to submit an update to the port, but that's just 
a general Makefile cleanup and fixing some issues with the rc.d scripts.
