This is also true for Linux, but like I said, pkgconfig is around since 2003 
or even longer. pkgconfig is only needed if you compile from source
and want libusb/libftdi support. Is it possible to set
build requirements for BSD packages?

Can you send me the output of that? There are already two drivers that
need libftdi and I will add two more, so it would be nice if we
can leave the autodetection enabled.
