 I think i found the solution. audio/faad uses aclocal during the
 post-patch target. If you use "USE_AUTOMAKE_VER" the appropriate
 port is added to the variable BUILD_DEPENDS (devel/automake in our
 case) but the build-depends are checked _after_ "make patch"
 (build-depends are actually part of the configure target).
 The reason why it worked for me was that i did "make patch" before
 deinstalling automake-1.5, because i thought it would be a configure
 problem.
 
 So the solution is to add "automake" to faad's PATCH_DEPENDS or to
 add "automake" to PATCH_DEPENDS in bsd.port.mk. I prefer the former
 because i often want to just look at the source of a tool without
 compiling any "unnecessary" dependencies.
 
 The only other port that has the same problem is www/tidy-devel (if
 compiled with -DWITH_SHLIB).
