It would be useful to see what config.log says about the cause of this 
error. The test executed by configure is

   if $PKG_CONFIG --exists 'pangoxft >= 1.2.0'

What do you get from

   pkg-config --modversion pangoxft

I get 1.10.1. Maybe your pkg-config is not Fink's /sw/bin/pkg-config?

This as a result of a "fink remove" command? Strange...

Perhaps because you had made bold symlinks to some ft-219 stuff? Here I 
can remove all the pango1-xft2-ft219* packages and then rebuild gtk+2, 
without any pango1-xft2-ft219 package being reinstalled.
