apache-2.0.52_2 port is broken ?!!

[Zoltan Frombach]

I've just tried to install the latest apache-2 port. It appears to be 
broken. My system is FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT #3 (from May 9, 2004) and all ports 
are up to date, except now apache-2. This is what happens when I try to 
portupgrade apache:

# portupgrade apache

While I do have autoconf installed from ports! See:

# pkg_info | grep autoconf
autoconf-2.53_3     Automatically configure source code on many Un*x 
platforms
autoconf-2.59_2     Automatically configure source code on many Un*x 
platforms

I even re-reinstall autoconf, but it did not solve the problem. I did this: 
portupgrade -f autoconf
Portupgrade then re-installed autoconf-2.53_3 first. Then it re-installed 
autoconf-2.59_2  There were no errors, everything went smooth as suppose to. 
But then 2.0.52_2 still complains about autoconf and still does not install.

I would appreciate any help resolving this issue.
