You can have a single directory that is shared by your developers, which contains tools like Autoconf. Your developers can be responsible for maintaining this directory, which they can prepend to their PATH. Most of the projects around here contain some software-generating tools that are specific to that project. These tools are treated with the same care that source code is. This is quite common practice, and it sounds like it would make sense for your organization.
