It looks like you have both native Xfixes and pkgsrc x11/Xfixes installed. 
I am guessing the pkgsrc/x11/Xfixes/builtin.mk detects native version so 
doesn't create a symlink for the xfixes.pc (for buildlinking).

The pkgsrc/x11/Xfixes/builtin.mk detects this.

I think there is a similar issue in PR 31086
http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=31086

I think if the X11_TYPE is not native then it should never detect and use 
the native found version. Anyone else have thoughts on that?

Or maybe a pkg-config .pc file should be generated (if needed)?

As a work-around try setting PREFER.Xfixes=pkgsrc or 
PREFER_PKGSRC+=Xfixes in your mk.conf file (and do a make clean in 
x11/xcursor) and try again.
