These particular ports are special, I don't think any port should list
them as RUN_DEPENDS, but rather as BUILD_DEPENDS.

So to answer your question, no, you don't need them. But if you were to
recompile things, they would need to be built again.

You should look at the automake-wrapper port.

ade@ and des@ have done loads of work with the autotools.
