The ports usually come with the _result_ of the x.in -> x
processing. Only when the result is absent or considered
outdated, make tries to recreate it and therefor needs the
.in file. Check your clock and the files' timestamps.
Another cause might be a version mismatch in the GNU auto*
tools (autoconf, automake). Check the archives for this (maybe
a search for "configure.in" or "Makefile.in" helps?).
