Just put a clean installation of FreeBSD into a directory (e.g. by
installworld, or unpacking the binary distributions from a release
build), add a clean ports tree and chroot into the directory.  Then
either build the port normally to pick up and install dependencies, or
pkg_add the packages by hand (bento uses non-general scripts to do
this).  USE_PACKAGE_DEPENDS may help, but you need to already have the
packages present.

By correct use of the bsd.port.mk macros relating to autoconf.

As I explained in private mail, you can fix this by going back to
r1.32 of the makefile: r1.33 was wrong and caused problems, and it was
apparently worked around incorrectly in r1.36.
