I found interesting commentary here:

``reported a similar problem with the lack of
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/openssl.pc from base, but it was determined
that openssl.pc was a Red Hat specific file and that the author of the
autoconf configure.in was responsible for implementing a better check.''

Can you give an example pkgsrc package that has this problem?

Thank you,
