Nagios plugins compile errors on OS X 10.3 Server

I'm having some issues compiling Nagios (natively, not through MacPorts, 
etc) on two Mac servers. One is running 10.3, the other 10.4. Both are 
PPC. Neither can be updated to 10.5 due to third party s/w constraints.

On the 10.3 server, after running ./configure it seems to end okay, but 
I see the following when running "make all":

    configure: creating ./config.status
    config.status: creating gl/Makefile
    config.status: creating Makefile
    config.status: creating lib/Makefile
    config.status: creating plugins/Makefile

                   --with-ping-command: /sbin/ping -n -c %d %s
                           --with-ipv6: yes
                          --with-mysql: no
                        --with-openssl: yes
                         --with-gnutls: no
                   --enable-extra-opts: no
                           --with-perl: /usr/bin/perl
                 --enable-perl-modules: no
                         --with-cgiurl: /nagios/cgi-bin
                   --with-trusted-path: /bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin

    /usr/local/src/nagios-plugins-1.4.13 root# make all
    cd . && /bin/sh
    /usr/local/src/nagios-plugins-1.4.13/build-aux/missing --run autoheader
    configure.in:3: error: Autoconf version 2.59 or higher is required
    configure.in:3: the top level
    autom4te: /usr/bin/gm4 failed with exit status: 1
    autoheader: /usr/bin/autom4te failed with exit status: 1
    make: *** [config.h.in] Error 1


Obviously it would seem that I might need a newer version of Autoconf? 
Any thoughts on a workaround or where I can get autoconf 2.59 or higher 
for OS X 10.3 Server?
