I don't understand why this would be necessary.

Your aclocal has the ac-dir configured to /opt/local/share/aclocal
already, which means it should already be searching that directory for
pkg.m4.  If it's not, then it either a bug in aclocal or (more likely)
a bug in the MacPorts version of aclocal.

In either case, I suggest just adding ACLOCAL_PATH to your own
environment, or fixing MacPorts to not be broken.

Rich.
