The best way is probably to install them through MacPorts
(http://www.macports.org/)
See: http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/wiki/InstallingMacPorts
Then install the packages `autoconf', `automake' and `libtool' (eg: sudo
port --verbose install autoconf automake libtool).

Otherwise you can grab a tarball of autoconf/automake/libtool and install
them manually with the traditionnal untar/configure/make all check/make
install process.  You can find these tarballs on the sites of each
package, namely:
http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/#downloading
http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/#downloading
http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/
