It turns out the circular dependency is the side effect of the FreeBSD
10 autotools fix.  Upon discovering that acinclude.m4 has been modified,
the port decides it needs to run autom4te.

I worked around the problem with "make -DWITHOUT_FBSD10_FIX", with no
apparent ill effects.  Perhaps the devel/libtool Makefile should always
define WITHOUT_FBSD10_FIX.                          -- George Mitchell
