As noted by Bernd Jendrissek, there should be a backslash in there:
sed -e 's,\$${LOCALSTATEDIR},${localstatedir},g' $(top_srcdir)/conf/ 
project.conf.in >$@

So that sed doesn't recognize `$' as `end of line'.  I didn't notice  
this because neither BSD sed nor GNU sed seem to consider `$' as `end  
of line' if it's not actually at the end of the pattern.
