Thanks Aurthur.

It's funny...I DID what it asks and it still didn't work (make deinstall, etc.).
A tip for the future: always say what you've tried. It lets us save our
waning mind reading powers for important cases, like working out what
the wife actually wants for her birthday when all she says is "oh, any
little thing will do". :-)
Apparently, I installed it from a package, so I did a pkg_delete
automake and then started my portmaster -a again and it seems to be
running fine.
Ah, the third option which I forgot to mention. It's always the option
one forgets to mention that works.
In theory package install and port install are supposed to be the same
(modulo config options). In practice there are odd cases, and automake
seems to provoke them. Thinking back, I've had to pkg_delete it before
now in order to upgrade, and I always install from ports.
