Try the package 'autoconf2.6' instead, which is newer than the really 
old 'autoconf'. Don't know why the three recommended commands are not 
working, but it seems like your dpkg database is a bit messy.

fink scanpackages
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install autoconf=1:2.63-7

Also, for automake, use 'automake1.15'.

Lastly, I've never used any of the osxfuse versions/flavors/etc. Does 
the newevr MacFUSE installer not provide headers or fuse.pc (probably 
installed into /usr/local/include and /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig) ?
