Subversion does use pkg-config after first trying /usr. Are you saying
this does not work? If I temporarily remove the library from /usr I see

configure: checking sqlite library
checking sqlite amalgamation... no
checking sqlite3.h usability... yes
checking sqlite3.h presence... yes
checking for sqlite3.h... yes
checking sqlite library version (via header)... okay
checking for sqlite3_close in -lsqlite3... no
checking sqlite library version (via pkg-config)... 3.7.10
