Not quite.  Packages detecting fontconfig with a test program (graphics/gd,
x11/motif) work, but packages using 'pkg-config' still fail.  Observed
so far: "multimedia/libass" and "print/poppler"

Configuration of print/poppler fails with:

[...]
checking for FONTCONFIG... no
configure: error: Package requirements (fontconfig >= 2.0.0) were not met:

Package '@PKGCONFIG_REQUIRES@', required by 'fontconfig', not found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables FONTCONFIG_CFLAGS
and FONTCONFIG_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Could it be confusion between the built-in fontconfig and the
still-installed previous fonts/fontconfig-2.11.1nb1 package?

Perhaps rebuilding "devel/pkg-config"?  Or is the built-in fontconfig's
"fontconfig.pc" file broken (with the "@FOO@" stuff).
