If that's not set, it uses the compiled in defaults. That's been in pkg-config for a long time, so it should work with the version you have. This should be in the form of a path style variable with : separators.

$ PKG_CONFIG_SYSTEM_INCLUDE_PATH=/opt/local/include pkg-config --cflags-only-I libass
-I/opt/local/include/freetype2 -I/opt/local/include/libpng16 -I/opt/local/include/fribidi -I/opt/local/include/glib-2.0 -I/opt/local/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/opt/local/include/freetype2
