This shouldn't have happened at first.
MacPorts compiles pkgconfig with /opt/local/lib/pkgconfig and
/opt/local/share/pkgconfig as default path, so they should always be
searched by pkgconfig (as if they were placed at the end of
$PKG_CONFIG_PATH).

I would say that either your pkgconfig installation is broken, or
poppler (+qt4 +quartz) didn't place the file poppler-qt4.pc in
/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig/.
I suggest that you rebuild (uninstall and install again) both ports.
If MacPorts complains about dependencies when you uninstall, you may
have to use the -f (force) flag on port command. (Please, check the
man page for port or the online documentation for MacPorts very
carefully when you must force operations: I take no responsibility on
these suggestions. :) )

If you still have compilation errors after doing that, you can send me
your terminal output and I'll have a look at it and try to help.

Best regards.
