autoconf-2.61 detects in its src_compile if an emacs executable exists in the
system. If not, the package doesn't install Emacs support files, regardless of
the emacs USE flag being set.

I see two alternative ways to fix this:

1.) Emacs support could be split off into a separate package
    (say, app-emacs/autoconf-mode) which would be included in PDEPEND if the
    emacs USE flag is set.

2.) One could disable Emacs in the build system, and install the elisp files
    "manually" in src_install. No dependency on Emacs will be needed.
    A small drawback of this solution would be that the autoconf-mode.el and
    autotest-mode.el will not be byte-compiled, but I think this is
    justifiable since both are very short files.

you can go ahead and split it off and commit the new ebuilds for me if you like
