This is what i use for third party programms:

alias configure env "CFLAGS=-I/usr/pkg/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/local/include" "CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/pkg/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/local/include" "LDFLAGS=-L/usr/pkg/lib -Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -Wl,-R/usr/X11R6/lib -Wl,-R/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib" ./configure
