Normally we'd just add a bin:makeinfo:texinfo build dependency, but the Portfile does this: 

# Not compatible with MacPorts texinfo.
configure.env-append \
				MAKEINFO=/usr/bin/makeinfo

a2ps: don't force use of /usr/bin/makeinfo

I couldn't reproduce the problem in #47881 that prompted forcing the use of /usr/bin/makeinfo (texinfo has been updated since then), and a2ps appears to just install prebuilt docs if makeinfo is not available, so I simply removed those lines.
