Comment (by kencu):

 If using a cross file, I think {{{pkg-config}}} and friends are never
 found unless specified, so long as {{{allow_default_for_cross=False}}}.

 For MacPorts' purposes, this is just not what we want, and none of our
 other build systems work like that.

 If we change to {{{allow_default_for_cross=True}}} then things will work
 like everyone would expect them to work for MacPorts, and you can still
 override them with a crossfile of your own construction if you are
 building for ChromeOS on Apple Silicon with and x86_64 toolchain, or some
 other bastardization of a build plan.
