No -- the problem here is that aclocal on Mac OS X is broken. It
hasn't been configured with the correct ac-dir:
$ aclocal --print-ac-dir
/usr/share/aclocal
Anyway, try setting ACLOCAL_PATH to the /opt/local/share/aclocal
directory, as described in the aclocal documentation.
Ah, thank you, that was the kind of variable I was looking for. I found a documenting
page here:

Updated patch incoming.
