I agree with your pango change here but with respect to pkgconfig there 
was some method to my madness.   This is a meta package
that attempts to install a set of ports that the GNOME project refers to 
as the GNOME platform modules -- the basic set of packages
needed to develop GNOME applications and they list pkgconfig as one of 
these.  Thus, it seemed appropriate to me to make it a library
dependency in this case (one that shouldn't be removed after 
installation of this port) even though it strictly doesn't provide any
libraries used at run-time and normally would be a build dependency 
anywhere else.

Does this make any sense?   Also I'm not sure why you made it a path 
dependency.  Should this be done globally?
