You should talk with the libtool maintainer about libtool.
Regarding the pkg-config stuff: you just have to determine which libs
are direct and which are indirect deps for a specific port, move the
indirect one into Libs.private, and then convince the upstream
maintainers to pick up this change.
Bye,
Alexander.
