After further inspection I found this problematic code in
configure.in:

  # This is developer only anyway, help pkgconfig a bit
  export PKG_CONFIG_PATH
  PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
  PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/gnome/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
  PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/usr/pkg/gnome/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
  PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/usr/pkg/pango/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

I think this is a very bad idea.  In my profile I have

  PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/gnome/lib/pkgconfig

and my latest pango version is installed in /usr/local/, while the
default pango is in /opt/gnome/.

With other words, my own PKG_CONFIG_PATH is always overridden, and I
always get the old pango version. 

IMHO you should completely remove this code from configure.in, or you
should append those directories instead of prepending them.
