Because it's not a right solution. There are very few need pkg-config
in the runtime dependency. Also I already have designed feature that
way (it's not for pkg-config, but all stuff in the bsd.gnome.mk) and
it doesn't break anything by defaut. But don't worry because bapt, kwm
and I have discussed about add USE_PKGCONFIG in the bsd.port.mk and
rip pkg-config out of bsd.gnome.mk. It's even better, but I know it's
more work like USE_GNOME=pkgconfig:build.

Cheers,
