As it turns out, Kris was correct in his diagnosis.  I did
pkg_delete for autoconf-2.53_3, but oddly it didn't remove the
associated files in /usr/local/bin/ .

I manually moved:

  -r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   6191 May  3  2004 autoconf
  -r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   6752 May  3  2004 autoheader
  -r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  31250 May  3  2004 autom4te
  -r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  10895 May  3  2004 autoreconf
  -r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  15025 May  3  2004 autoscan
  -r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  32134 May  3  2004 autoupdate

to a temporary junk directory.

The build now progresses to the exact error noted in
PR ports/73867 .  I applied the patch from that PR
and went back thru the process described in
/usr/ports/UPDATING and the update completed
successfully.  Much joy ;-)

Thanks to all!  If any information is needed, just ask.
