The current FreeBSD version of the autotools and libtool do not  
contain FreeBSD specific features. So it should be possible to remove  
the gnu one (I did test the effect of the PR with the cvs version of  
LAME and the plain autotools we have currently).

aclocal will generate a file in the development directory. This file  
is used when autoconf runs. autoconf does not seem to use the m4 files  
in share/aclocal directly.

Create the dirlist file, run aclocal and then autoconf. I expect that  
it will work then.
