The BUILD_DEPENDS on automake14 is (at the moment) hardwired into 
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk. For using the most recent automake you have to
set AUTOMAKE=automake (as you already have done) and add a line like:

BUILD_DEPENDS+=automake:${PORTSDIR}/devel/automake

It's a little annoying that automake14 is also built if you build your port,
but as it is only a BUILD_DEPENDS it does not do any harm.

(Maybe things with USE_AUTOMAKE and USE_AUTOCONF will again change, there
were some discussions on that)

Best regards
