Sure, there should be no compatibility problems, even (though I
wish you had researched this yourself :).

We already depend on autoconf 2.67 (released 2010-07-21)
and autoconf itself renamed it's configure.in to configure.ac
way back on 2001-07-17 (commit f0478c4702efe203fc22617966c4e5b934b8a0dc).

So there's no compatibility problems to worry about.

cf.  git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/autoconf
