pkgconf has been imported in base as a replacement for the previous
homegrown and Perl-based pkg-config.  So you should be able to use it
directly.  If your ports look for the pkgconf executable names, there
are various approaches like a symlink in ${WRKDIR}/bin.  Maybe it
could/should be reachable under both names in the base system.
