Here's what I have on my system:
devel/autoconf
devel/autoconf213
devel/automake
devel/automake14
devel/autotools
devel/libtool
(That's not counting the -wrapper convenience ports.)
So: one antiquated version each of autoconf and automake.
$ dependson autoconf-2.1 | wc -l
73
$ dependson autoconf | wc -l
910
$ dependson automake-1.4 | wc -l
31
$ dependson automake | wc -l
325
('dependson' is just a script that greps INDEX.)
Summary: there used to be a lot of auto* ports. There aren't, now.
