I've solved my issue with aclocal looking for /opt/local/bin/perl.

At some earlier time, I must have pulled perl in using MacPorts, and then when I followed the dependency steps of installing automake (http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Install_Mac_OS_10.6.4_Dependencies) ./configure determined the location of perl in /opt/local/bin and proceeded to build aclocal, which is used by autogen.sh.

I'm glad to have cleared that up. Now on to the fun stuff. (well it's all fun, isn't it...until someone pokes an eye out). ;)
