This is done through standard variables: CFLAGS and LDFLAGS.

Do not touch ld.so.conf to solve this; that file, although extensively
used in Linux, will be (almost) empty usually.  Just use rpaths, i.e.,
-Wl,-R.

Use the following script (which I call psbuild):

----- snip -----
#!/bin/sh

ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /usr/pkg/share/aclocal"; export ACLOCAL_PATH
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/pkg/lib/pkgconfig; export PKG_CONFIG_PATH
CPPFLAGS='-I/usr/pkg/include -I/usr/X11R6/include'; export CPPFLAGS
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/pkg/lib -Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib 
-Wl,-R/usr/X11R6/lib"; export LDFLAGS

exec "$@"
----- snip .....

and run it as in "psbuild ./configure".

Cheers
