    no I didn't, ports doing something crazy with AUTOMAKE should either
    not be setting USE_AUTOMAKE.  As it stands a port maintainer can
    update to newer automake (version 1.5) just by adding
    AUTOMAKE=automake.

    I asked for you and portmgr to help engineer a solution.  I got
    little to no help.  I am actually dishartened that a non-portmgr
    person had to take this one as the portmgr people didn't seem
    interested in well...maintaining the ports collection as a
    collection.
