You're right - using pkg-config, not xml2-config, is the BCP. Any Unix system with a libxml from the last few years should have this.
I hate to be the stick in the mud, but pkg-config is a fantastic PITA that's as joyous to work with as most of the autofuck utils. FreeBSD, Solaris, and many other non-linux systems don't use pkg-config (not to say it can't, but isn't). ruby-libxml should use xml2-config until a sufficiently well adopted BSDL version of pkg-config is adopted and used by most posix systems.
