The port is based on the latest release of swi-prolog, which has switched to cmake/ninja. My final issue is that the pkg-conf-.pc file gets installed in PREFIX/share/pkgconfig instead of PREFIX/libdata/pkgconfig, but I can't find the best way to maneuver it into the right directory.

If you can't find and patch the location in the cmake files (like
Muhammad advised), the easiest solution is to move it in post-install.
But Muhammad's solution is the best option and you should shoot for
that first.

post-install:
    ${MV} ${STAGEDIR}${PREFIX}/share/pkgconfig/swipl.pc
${STAGEDIR}${PREFIX}/libdata/pkgconfig
