the problem is then in the ports tree:

[raspberry2]...devel/autoconf (root) > make
===>   autoconf-2.69_1 depends on executable: gm4 - not found
===>   m4-1.4.17_1,1 depends on executable: makeinfo - not found
===>   m4-1.4.17_1,1 depends on executable: makeinfo - not found
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make[2]: stopped in /usr/ports/devel/m4
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make[1]: stopped in /usr/ports/devel/m4
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make: stopped in /usr/ports/devel/autoconf

The ports tree on this machine is a month old. Do you know if this got
fixed recently?
