You can't do this via the port. You will either have to patch or pass
the relevant info to autoconf.

devel/pcre is EoL anyway though.

"The older, but still widely deployed PCRE library, originally released
in 1997, is at version 8.45. This version of PCRE is now at end of life,
and is no longer being actively maintained. Version 8.45 is expected to
be the final release of the older PCRE library, and new projects should
use PCRE2 instead. However, it's still found in various legacy systems
and some platforms, including certain services that continue to use the
original PCRE for compatibility reasons."
