Thanks, that's what I needed to know to track it down.
Here is what has happened, FreeBSD uses earlier versions of automake and 
autoconf. Previously, they didn't have working ports for versions that 
Xastir needed, so I just downloaded the source and built. Of course, 
everything worked great. When I had to rebuild this machine, I noticed 
that there were ports for the correct versions, so I installed the ports 
for automake and autoconf.

The problem was that the ports appended the version number to the 
executable. I noticed this, and linked automake and autoconf to what the 
ports created. What I didn't notice was all the other executables that 
already existed from other installs. So after a good cleanup in 
/usr/local/bin, and linking the correct suspects, all is well.
