looks like an issue with the update to Automake1.13

is this one recent enough?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

It's too recent; we need to patch couchdb-devel to be compatible with automake 1.13+.

r101583 solves the error you showed in your log (which is also the error I got on my system), but the buildbots still fail with:

DEBUG: Executing proc-pre-org.macports.configure-configure-0
aclocal.m4:14: error: this file was generated for autoconf 2.61.
You have another version of autoconf.  If you want to use that,
you should regenerate the build system entirely.

[anton.ananich@…]

The problem is fixed! Thank you!

[jeff-macports@…]

The current devel version does not suffer from the initial issue here, though it does suffer from the latter that you found. If you want to fix this one right away, the latest bug can be fixed by editing bootstrap and adding aclocal-1.13 and automake-1.13 to the lists found when setting the $ACLOCAL and $AUTOMAKE variables.

If you'd like to hold on for a day I am working on getting this moved over to their git repo (they moved in Oct 2011) and I already have this fix in my update.

Side note: Sorry to ask this here but I emailed a request to macports-mgr to be the maintainer of couchdb and couchdb-devel on Wednesday but have only heard crickets so far. Was anything received on your side? Thanks.

[jeff-macports@…]

Cc Me!

[anton.ananich@…]

It seems that git contains more recent changes. The idea is great.

macports-mgr only handles requests for commit rights and security issues. If you merely wish to maintain couchdb and couchdb-devel, you can open a ticket volunteering yourself as a non-committing maintainer.
