If it's anything like 'pkg-config', it should usually be in
'search-paths' for cross-compilation (for cross-pkg-config)
(native-search-paths would work too when compiling natively,
but only because currently then native-inputs and inputs are
merged together).

OTOH, I think those kind of changes are best done with some
concrete test cases in mind (maybe the package depending on pkgconf
that will be packaged later?) otherwise it's a bit speculative on what
will works and what not, but I believe it's something to keep in mind
for later.

(So TBC: I don't expect changes to the patch, but I expect changes will
be needed later, though only once we have concrete packages to actually
test them on).

Greetings,
Maxime.
