USE_GNOME=      glib20 gtk20 intltool

already bring in pkgconf, and these require it to build.

Also so this from bapt:

More than that lots of ports do not even care about pkg-config because they
do
depend on glib20 or xproto which run depend on it. so fixing/changing
USE_GNOME=
pkgconfig cannot be done in one shot, too much impact.
