autotools are generally just build dependencies for any of the ports
that you'ld want run on a machine -- ie. they only need to be there at
the point you build the port. Once you've installed whatever it is, you
can delete just auto{conf,make} etc. portmaster(1) even has options to
do that automatically.
You'll tend to end up with many different versions of autotools
installed over time, as ports get updated to use more recent versions.
Occasionally purging them all does no harm, and will save you a small
amount of disk space.
Cheers,
Matthew
