Comment:

 The pkgconfig Portfile configures the default search path thus:
 {{{
 --with-pc-path=${prefix}/lib/pkgconfig:${prefix}/share/pkgconfig
 }}}
 and it seems to work:
 {{{

 Error printing disabled by default due to use of output options --exists,
 --atleast/exact/max-version, --list-all or no output option at all. Value
 of --print-errors: 0

 You could try running something like the above command without
 `PKG_CONFIG_PATH` set to see what's going on?
