Description
Some packages (for example poppler qt4 bindings) need pkgconfig files (.pc) to communicate with QT.
Mac binary distribution doesn't have them. It is possible to get them by compiling from source with the option -no-framework.
This fix will not be supported with the release of QT/Mac Cocoa (probably with 4.6) as stated by the developers here:

It would be nice to have pkgconfig support in binary distributions before running into this problem.
