This means that the pkg.m4 file is either not properly installed, or is
installed into the wrong directory. This happens easily with OS X because
of the way _certain_ package tools use a different path prefix for no
apparent reason. I got past this problem with:

setenv PKG_CONFIG_PATH
"/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig"
setenv ACLOCAL_FLAGS "-I /sw/share/aclocal -I /usr/share/aclocal -I
/usr/share/aclocal-1.6"

This worked for my OS X installation, on which I had installed pkgconfig
and autoconf using 'fink'. These exact lines might not work for you, but
they should at least point you in the right direction :-)

PKG_CONFIG_PATH should contain the directories where pkgconfig's *.pc files
can be found.
ACLOCAL_FLAGS should contain a -I for each directory where autoconf-related
*.m4 files can be found.
