MacPorts installs its stuff to /opt/..., that's probably why you  
have .pc files there.

pkg-config is originally a Linux or GNOME tool, so the best you can do  
is to patch pkg-config to search the Versions/Current/lib/pkgconfig  
subdirectory of every framework installed. Or just have your profile  
script set PKG_CONFIG_PATH to include the frameworks you need.
