It mostly seems to work fine.  The one strange error for cmake is:

Generate C results for bmpqt file device
/usr/share/plplot5.13.0/examples/test_lua.sh: line 50: 
lua_svg_test.error: Permission denied
[ 92%] Built target xtraditional16a
cat: lua_svg_test.error: No such file or directory
make[3]: *** [CMakeFiles/test_lua_svg.dir/build.make:374: 
test_examples_output_dir/x00lua01.svg] Error 1

and for make/pkgconfig:

Generate Octave results for svg device
./plplot-test.sh --verbose --front-end=octave --device=svg
/usr/bin/bash: ./plplot-test.sh: Permission denied
make: *** [Makefile:126: x01o01.svg] Error 126

which is due to my removing the executable bit for the example script to 
avoid issues with automatic dependencies.
