I'm not sure what this means, but does this particular thing require
pkgconf to configure/build? If so, can you please add a USE_PKGCONFIG=
build?

Reason being that as we remove the bogus run-dep on pkgconf, and as
people start to rely more on packages, it will become more common for
people to install a system that doesn't already have pkgconf, and then
potentially want to update this one thing via the ports. So if it needs
pkgconf to build, it should have that as a build dep.
