Description
Many/most Linux distros have created such a config file as the upstream has not done so. The lack means the presence of lmdb is not discovered by packages which use pkg-config to detect the presence of lmdb.
Would it be possible to create and install such a file?

Since the latest version of lmdb still doesn't install a pkg-config .pc file, and since I could not find a bug report about it, I have now filed one: https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9457

Yes, that is theoretically possible. If you or someone else would like to add this to our port, you can submit a patch here or a pull request on GitHub. This port has no maintainer so nobody is actively looking after it.
Adding a pkg-config file technically falls under the category of developing and improving the lmdb software, and that's not our responsibility. You should report this bug/feature request to the developers of lmdb (and add the link to it here, if possible). When they implement this change and publish a new version of lmdb, MacPorts and other package managers can update to it. This will ensure that every user gets the same lmdb regardless of how they install it.
