Few ports have a need to re-run autoconf, and all other will have the
problem since that's coded into configure, not autoconf.

I'd second the original suggestion, albeit there's a possible collision
with ports defining these by themselves, so some Makefile magic is
needed - these defaults must be PREPENDED (not added/appended) to
CONFIGURE_ARGS.
