you update your ports collection, before attempting any port upgrades.

+ AFFECTS: autotools
+ AUTHOR: autotools@FreeBSD.org
+
+ The next stage in the ongoing cleanup of autotools-using ports is
+ a refactoring of bsd.autotools.mk so that version numbers are no longer
+ needed within the USE_AUTOTOOLS stanza. There is either
+ autoconf213/autoconf or automake14/automake (for the legacy versions,
+ and the currently available versions). This will considerably reduce
+ the amount of tree-wide patching in future on an update.
+
+ IMPORTANT: if you have either devel/autoconf-wrapper or
+ devel/automake-wrapper installed on your system (and you most likely do)
+ PLEASE update these ports to their new versions before updating anything
+ else -- Bad Things[tm] are likely to happen otherwise.
