It would appear that whatever default paths /usr/bin/pkg-config is
adding (probably /usr/lib/pkg-config) is satisfying all the required
dependencies for your GTK in /usr/local/...

How to proceed will be dependant on how much of the system you want
self-contained in /usr/local. If you want it completely contained,
you'll need to build some of cario's dependencies there too, for
example.. fontconfig - which it appears to be asking for.

It's tempting to wonder whether we'd be back to the nasty conflicts if
you just allowed /usr/local/bin/pkg-config to search /usr/* for things
like fontconfig. The main thing you need to ensure is that the versions
of GLib and GTK it finds are the new ones you installed in /usr/local/
