linker doesn't stick it automatically, you need to add them to Makefile.
either with CFLAGS and LDFLAGS (-I/usr/pkg/include and -L/usr/pkg/lib
respectively or even -R/usr/pkg/lib to hardcode this search path into
the binaries as pkgsrc does.  see ld(1) and gcc(1) manpages for more
details) to the environment on command line for make or configure
commands  or by patching Makefile or configure directly.  that's exactly
what pkgsrc mechanism does for you.  if you don't understand why is this
good for you then you probably don't need that and just set LOCALBASE to
/usr/local which is probably more comfortable for you.

i like to keep my system clean so it's a good thing that packages which
are installed from pkgsrc are in one place and don't mess up with
locally installed packages (which i happily narrowed to absolute minimum
of two packages, which have local patches so then can't be submitted to
pkgsrc, and few small scripts).
