Actually I would advise against this.  Just modify the Makefile.in
file for now.  Get your port working.  Then once that is done, work
on updating the automake/autoconf files.

Once you are ready to modify the build system, Andreas's advice about 
configuring with --enable-maintainer-mode is the way to go.  That will
correctly rebuild all of the necessary files, once you have the right
tools installed.

Cheers
