Sqlite3 isn't the only one with a bogus dependency to pkg-config, for
example audio/libsndfile does the same by using "USE_GNOME=gnomehack
pkgconfig" instead of doing the proper thing (tm) which is patching
Makefile.in to install the .pc file to $(prefix)/libdata/pkgconfig. I
can try to track down some of those and submit PRs.
