Comment (by shreevatsa.public at gmail.com):

 I managed to build irssi by stupid hacks: Running configure with the right
 args manually myself, then putting "exit" in configure so that port would
 complete the configure step "successfully".

 You can close this bug now, although we haven't been able to figure out
 why configure was not being able to find pkg-config.
