#37420: ncurses: snow leopard binary missing pkgconfig files

Comment (by ryandesign@…):
The intention, if not the current functioning, of the configure script
seems to be to only install the .pc files if pkgconfig is detected. Adding
the pkgconfig dependency would satisfy that, even if the pkgconfig program
itself is not actually needed to build ncurses. While we should of course
avoid unnecessary dependencies, I wouldn't feel too bad about adding a
pkgconfig dependency, since pkgconfig is needed by so many other ports
anyway.
Alternately, you could write and maintain forever a patch against the
configure script to always install the .pc files, if you prefer to take on
that burden.
