Use something like:

pre-configure-modulated:
	@( cd $(WORKSRC); gsed -i -e 's%sys/acl.h%%' configure.ac; \
		autoreconf ...)
	@$(MAKECOOKIE)

That will run for each modulation (likely only one in your case, but 
safe against multiple) and do the required edit.  As the name suggests, 
this is pretty much immediately prior the configure call.  You could 
also create a patch that gets applied instead.
