I believe the problem is that godi's build system sets an M4 variable
to '/usr/bin/gm4' (hardcoded in /opt/godi/build/mk/defs.cmd.mk), and
that is passed to './configure' in its environment, which then uses
that in preference to any m4 found on the path.

These is easily bypassed. I've added the following lines to my
/opt/godi/etc/godi.conf

GMAKE=/opt/local/bin/gmake
M4=/opt/local/bin/gm4
SED=/opt/local/bin/gsed

to use tools from macports. I've included the GNU version of sed there
because OS X has the BSD version, and I've found a few packages that
try to GNU extensions to sed (and GMAKE just so it uses the most
current version, not that I've found problems).
