Although I don't use the latest version of FreeBSD, I don't think package system of FreeBSD is so officious to set the environmental variants for the compilers, so I sympathize with Miles. However, pkg-config installed by the binary package scans following directories automatically. /usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/X11R6/libdata/pkgconfig:/usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig Yet I've not checked if the binary package of gcc (not the default /usr/bin/cc, installed to /usr/local/bin) will search /usr/local trees by default.
