That's right, and it should not be needed.

The libtool package should not be needed either in your case, as long as
the macros/ltdl.m4 file and libltdl/ subdirectory are up to date (and they
should be from cvs rep).

Hamlib should be portable to NetBSD, we'll fix it otherwise :)

What you really need is an autoconf > 2.54 and automake > 1.7 (later is
better). Check them with --version. And then rerun autogen.sh:

        aclocal -I macros
        autoheader
        automake -a
        autoconf

Be careful, some distro can have 2 versions of automake/autoconf
installed, and you have to differentiate them with their name (eg.
automake-1.7).

Let us know if this solved your problem.
