Seems like spawning REINPLACE_CMD over the whole horde of Makefile.in
files will do the trick:
-----
post-patch:
	@for f in `${FIND} '${WRKSRC}' -name Makefile.in` \
	  ${WRKSRC}/configure; do \
		${REINPLACE_CMD} -e's|wx-config |${WX_CONFIG} |g' "$$f"; \
	done

I am not sure for 100% that the above is the Only Right Way (tm), but
the Porter's Handbook suggests that in such cases (when "wx-config" is
hardcoded), the best thing is to patch the sources and that's what I did.

BTW, there is absolutely no need to specify WX_CONFIG in your Makefile,
bsd.wx.mk will take care of it.  WX_CONF_ARGS seems redundant too:
SAGA's configure understands no --with-wx-config option, so it is just
a no-op.
