Not yet but I hope someone will come up with a USES=autoreconf one day
It is also a problem for freebsd 10+ hidden right now with a giant ugly and
dirty patch in bsd.port.mk may be here USES=libtool may help, actually I m 90%
sure it will, otherwise we are doomed because even autoreconf will fail with so
ancient autotools
