This was an error on my end. I have dp's autotools installed, and /opt/local/bin is in my PATH before /usr/bin (Apple's included autotools). Someone really should kick the tidy people in the face for not including a bootstrapped source, though.

Thanks! This bugreport saved me a lot of work!

I could easily install tidy with sudo port uninstall automake autoconf sudo port install tidy

Probably the same would be a slightly more gently solution: sudo port deactivate automake autoconf sudo port install tidy sudo port active automake autoconf
