May be I am too late, but I hope my post will help someone. I had the same
issue. I fugured out that configure script does not find macros
PKG_CHECK_MODULES. That macros is in /PCBSD/local/share/aclocal/pkg.m4 . In
/usr/ports/libX11/Makefile you can see

ACLOCAL_AGRS = -I . -I ${LOCALBASE}/share/aclocal

But LOCALBASE equals to /usr/local/ and there is no
/usr/local/share/aclocal/pkg.m4 !!! 
So I just did

ln -s /PCBSD/local/share/aclocal/pkg.m4 /usr/local/share/aclocal/pkg.m4

and voila!
Also I found that some ports cannot find, for example, unzip. But 'which
unzip' shows... yes, /PCBSD/local/bin/unzip ! It looks like it was not a
very good idea to put files to /PCBSD.

With best wishes,
