Is there a way for me to do something like:

If you want to depend on a particular pkgconfig file but don't care
whether X11 or MacPorts provides it, we may need (I can't believe
I'm saying this) a new pkgconfig:-style of dependency that searches
the various pkgconfig directories.
but then what if we want to make sure there's some m4 macro
"somewhere" or some <insert new whoodigit> "module" somewhere... It
seems like it'd be good to have a fileinpathsomewhere: dependency that
takes a relative path and looks for that file in /, /usr/, $
{x11prefix}, ${prefix}, <insert other prefixes here... maybe /usr/
local, etc>
Or perhaps you can instead depend on a binary or a library.
Well the problem is that "old" X11 didn't provide these pkgconfig
files, and we might want to check for them to make sure we have a "new
enough" X11 lib in some cases (I don't have a concrete example right
now, but I'm planning for that eventuality).
