Mac OS X does not ship pkg-config and it does not have devel packages  
either. ;-)

The Mono.framework includes a local copy of pkg-config, or  
alternatively it can be installed from source (needs to be in PATH or  
specified as PKG_CONFIG).

As indicated, try adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable to point to  
the directory containing the .pc file (might be the standard /usr/ 
local/lib/pkgconfig if you didn't change the prefix) - that should  
find the gtk-sharp-2.0.pc file. But you likely also need some GNOME  
files for gnome-sharp, so if you don't intend to run gnome-sharp apps  
on OS X it might be easier to copy the assembly over from a Linux box.
Or are you trying to install MonoDevelop? That makes certain  
assumptions on the location of the assemblies later on, I needed to  
install everything into the same prefix as Mono for it to compile.
