It is unnecessary to be in hurry when that pkg-config has been in the
bsd.gnome.mk for about nine years. I already have a better solution
available for weeks. Therefore, you (and others) need to be patient
because when I add the :build/:run dependency in the bsd.gnome.mk then
that pkg-config runtime dependency will be re-added. And no I am not
going to work on chase all ports to have the 'pkgconfig:build'
(sorry).
