You know, I think the best thing to do for ports which use their own version of libtool is to just depend on /usr/ports/devel/libtool and patch configure to look in /usr/local/share/libtool, not wherever they happen to keep their specific version. Otherwise, we'll end up with the same patches in each of 50 ports which make use of a local copy of ltconfig/ltmain.sh and friends. Hopefully, most ports don't depend on custom hackery to their version, so we can just make the modifications once and have it just work. This seems to work okay for the ports I've tried it with.
