Would installing the autoconf port install autoreconf?
autoconf-wrapper-20131203 is a requirement of autoconf-2.69_3, so yes.

Aye, there's the rub:

root@pelorus:/usr/ports/devel/autoconf # make -DBATCH > make.log
./configure: /usr/local/bin/perl: not found
configure: error: Perl 5.006 or better is required
root@pelorus:/usr/ports/devel/autoconf #

Which closes the circle back the perl problem:

root@pelorus:/usr/ports/devel/autoconf # perl -v
perl: Command not found.
root@pelorus:/usr/ports/devel/autoconf # whereis perl
perl: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.30/perl/man/man1/perl.1.gz 
/usr/ports/devel/git/work-default/git-2.30.0/perl
root@pelorus:/usr/ports/devel/autoconf #

It looks like perl isn't installed, but also isn't recognized as a
dependency that needs to be compiled. The existence of libs and
man but no bin seems odd.

At this point I'm baffled. Must I install some version of perl
manually from ports?

It should be pulled in:

/usr/ports/devel/autoconf > # make all-depends-list
/usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg
/usr/ports/devel/m4
/usr/ports/print/texinfo
/usr/ports/misc/help2man
/usr/ports/devel/p5-Locale-gettext
/usr/ports/devel/gettext-tools
/usr/ports/devel/libtextstyle
/usr/ports/converters/libiconv
/usr/ports/print/indexinfo
/usr/ports/devel/gettext-runtime
>>> /usr/ports/lang/perl5.32
/usr/ports/devel/gmake
/usr/ports/devel/p5-Locale-libintl
/usr/ports/converters/p5-Text-Unidecode
/usr/ports/textproc/p5-Unicode-EastAsianWidth
/usr/ports/devel/autoconf-wrapper

Your system appears to belive it /has/ Perl. What does pkg info -ix perl yield?
