"AC_PACKAGE_NAME" is a macro that is defined by autoconf. AFAIK, if such a message appears during compilation, the wrong version of autoconf is being used. It would be interesting to know if you compile a port, because in this case the dependency is wrong. If you downloaded a source tarball from a website, you should check the requirements what the package needs to compile successfully. autoconf and automake should be listed there, too.
