Here is why:

.include <bsd.port.pre.mk>

pre-configure:
         @${ECHO_CMD} "===! Running aclocal"
         @(cd ${WRKSRC}; aclocal; autoconf)

.include <bsd.port.post.mk>

Now, when I try to build the port I get this:

So it checked BUILD_DEPENDS but then aborted because script configure 
is not there.

I would appreciate help on this matter, I really want to do this right. 
I develop Firewall Builder on many platforms (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Linux, 
Mac OS X ) and it is important for me to be able to build it from the 
same source tree everywhere.

thanks
