adding pkg-config to the path still fails:

configure:18755: WARNING: Sorry, can not build XeTeX without Carbon framework or fontconfig

and config.log has:

configure:18608: checking for pkg-config
configure:18624: found /opt/home/vvv/bin-tl/pkg-config
configure:18635: result: pkg-config

$ /opt/home/vvv/bin-tl/pkg-config --libs fontconfig
-L/opt/csw/lib -lfontconfig  

it seems that the fontconfig's LDFLAGS are not used when linking the
test program, regardless of how they are obtained - via
--with-fontconfig-libdir or via pkg-config.

Best,
