Is there a way for me to do something like:

You can use "${x11prefix}/lib/pkgconfig/x11.pc",
Actually I'm told you currently can't because variables are not
expanded in depspecs.

Intriguing...
Make that "/usr/X11/lib/pkgconfig/x11.pc" then. :-)
but it's not guaranteed to work or be portable...
i.e. the .pc files don't have to be in "lib",
they could also be in a "libdata" or something.
MacPorts pkgconfig only searches three paths:
* ${prefix}/lib/pkgconfig
* ${prefix}/share/pkgconfig
* ${x11prefix}/lib/pkgconfig
But I think what Jeremy was getting at is that he doesn't know
which of those three locations the file might be in.
But if one uses an "outside"/System X11, then
it might be located somewhere else completely.
For instance FreeBSD has x11prefix=/usr/local
and the .pc in /usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig ?
So maybe pkconfig:x11:xorg-libX11 is in order ?
(would need "base" to grow a feature, though)
That's what I was thinking (s/pkconfig/pkgconfig/).
It doesn't help much on Tiger (i.e. without xorg)
either, since it doesn't have a x11.pc anywhere.
Sometimes it's possible to hack around that, instead:
