It's probably happened because of recent autoconf 2.60 changed it's
manpage and info locations to share/man and share/info accordingly.
It can be solved by adding --mandir=${PREFIX}/man and --infodir=
${PREFIX}/info to CONFIGURE_ARGS.

I have submitted a change to bsd.port.mk to add this as default
since it will not break existing ports (for autoconf prior to 2.60
this is default), but, unfortunately, this proposal didn't find support.

In fact, many people have faced to this problem recently (on irc/mailing
lists).
