Since a goal of pkgsrc is reproducible builds, it ignores your path
and lots of other things too when building, so adding that to your
path won't work.  This isolation functionality is known as the wrapper
framework [1].  You need to get pkgsrc to understand the compiler
requirement you're trying to specify for the poppler package which is
what coypu@ was suggesting with the GCC_REQD variable.  Why that's not
working for you, though, I don't know.
