Yes, this pkg-config you found can be used (must be used for cairo  
devices), but not needed. Usually to find out what parameters I need  
to compile my own programs I configure PLplot with the -DBUILD_TEST=ON  
option and then compile PLplot with

make VERBOSE=1

Later on all the examples will be built and the VERBOSE flag tells  
make to print out actual compiler and linker calls. This helps to get  
your own programs running.
