The latest Apple developer tools (XCode 3.2.6) provide autoconf version 2.61. Since 'configure' was removed from emacs bzr, it cannot be regenerated on this platform without autoconf>= 2.6.5, i.e. overriding Apple's standard autotools, which is widely deprecated.
Deprecated by who? I have had autoconf in /usr/local for years on OSX, and noticed no ill effects on XCode projects.
IMHO, it should continue to be possible to build emacs without doing so, as has always been the case.
It is still the case for released versions, it is just the developer version that has changed. This is more or less how other projects manage development versions.
