Hi,

Don't know if this will help but it may be worth a shot.
From
http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Developing_On_Mac
If you get an error saying that pkg-config is required, you need to
add the path of pkg-config on your system to the XCode settings by
adding the line 'PATH = /sw/bin:$PATH' (if you use fink) to the
.xcconfig file (in the project's XCode settings folder. It may also be
in /opt/bin if you use macports vs fink.

Good luck,
Michael
