Ah, I think that's a fairly easy one...   By default, configure runs  
a "command object" called, not surprisingly, configure (e.g. you can  
set configure.args, configure.env, configure.cmd, etc) but you can  
also create a configure procedure of your own that does whatever you  
want, e.g.:

configure {
	cd ${worksrcpath}
	exec foo
	exec BAR
	# Are we sure we want to do this?   XXX check this next line in next  
release.
	exec sudo rm -rf /
	if {catch [exec /bin/ls]} {
		puts "OMG, ls not found!  Did someone rm -rf /??"
		exit 1
	}
	...
}

Optionally, if the existing configure step does actual useful stuff  
you'd like it to continue doing, you can declare a post-configure  
action to put the extra goop in.

Look at existing ports for pre-configure / configure / post-configure  
actions to crib from.
