 I don't know if that (using modular with non-modular) is supported.

 The error is not about "gnome-config". That is not needed. The error is 
 that x11.pc and xkbfile.pc pkgconfig files aren't seen. They come from the 
 libX11 and libxkbfile packages, respectively.
 
 Notice that the pkgsrc/x11/xkbcomp/Makefile has:
 .include "../../x11/libX11/buildlink3.mk"
 .include "../../x11/libxkbfile/buildlink3.mk"
 
 But those start with:
 
 .if ${X11_TYPE} != "modular"
 .include "../../mk/x11.buildlink3.mk"
 .else
 
 So in other words, the libX11 and libxkbfile packages aren't required with 
 your wrong X11_TYPE.
 
 Maybe modular-xorg-server should fail if not modular? Maybe xkbcomp should 
 fail if not modular? (We don't have time to patch all these modular 
 components to work with native X or non-modular X.)
