I think this won't help in the case of something like heimdal, where
krb5-config is installed by both the base system and by pkgsrc.  In
that case, you would need more control over which krb5-config is
detected based on the PREFER_* settings.  I think the only way to be
sure is to symlink the *-config scripts into ${BUILDLINK_DIR}/bin.
