You don't really say what you did.  Did you run make menuconfig or equiv?
Missing autoconf is probably not freeswan related unless the patcher got
mangled.

make-kpkg built freeswan flawlessly on several i86 machines here in 
past couple of weeks.  All running current unstable.  Maybe a month
ago I did have to tweak it but recent freeswan package fixed that.

Try applying patches by hand to see what happens.  Then just build kernel
as usual.
