No, it's not. At least the Debian/Ubuntu/Mint-ish distros depend on pkg-config. I'm pretty shure the
same is true for Redhat/Fedora/Centos do so as well, and, at least according to the SuSE RPM guide they
expect pkg-config as well (after all, it is the standard established byfreedesktop.org).
As far as I remember the pkgconf developers suggest to create a symlink linking pkgconf to pkg-config
(IMHO a replacement tool shoud do this as a default).

Please don't. IIRC correctly there was a time when I needed to compile aoelus et al. with a self-compiled/installed
freetype (living under /usr/local). With that pkg-config invocation everything works as expected (as long
as I keep my  PKG_CONFIG_PATH correct). With your hard-coded values I'd need to patch the Makefiles.
