Don't fiddle with the auto* stuff inside the port, i'd say.  Just run
autoconf and automake before creating the tarball that goes into the
download area, that's IMHO also what avr-libc does.  Then, all you
need to do in the FreeBSD port is to say

GNU_CONFIGURE=  yes

but you don't need to add all the auto* bloat to the list of
prerequisites.

Also, as recently noticed, it seems that the auto* tools by default
want to use /usr/local/bin/bash to run their scripts.  In order to not
have bash as a prerequisite (it's not necessary, but they simply don't
know that our /bin/sh is Posixish enough to work), use

CONFIGURE_ENV=  CONFIGURE_SHELL=/bin/sh

Untested, but i guess that's all you need.
