Ok, thanks for the help.

I don't think that it is a problem with timestamps. 
The script admin/detect-autoconf.pl is called by admin/cvs.sh because
the makefile /usr/ports/deskutils/ksmoothdock/Makefile calls gmake with
admin/Makefile.common. If i understand well, Makefile.common always
calls the script admin/cvs.sh

PORTNAME=       ksmoothdock
[...]
pre-configure:
        @cd ${WRKSRC}/admin && ${RM} -f ltmain.sh && ${CP} -f
	@cd ${WRKSRC} && ${GMAKE} -f admin/Makefile.common

If i remove this line ${GMAKE} -f admin/Makefile.common, the port
builds and runs fine, so what is the goal and is it the bug ?

I don't have the time to fill a PR now, i'm going on hollidays.
Regards.
