Or simply move the ${prefix}/bin part in .profile after $PATH, i.e. from
  export PATH=/opt/local/bin:"$PATH"
to
  export PATH="$PATH":/opt/local/bin

Binaries rather than libraries, libraries would be affected by other
env variables but any package using pkgconfig should work fine as I
can't see pkgconfig in default system.
