Realized after sending that the rest of the series would probably change

Yes, pkgconfig(udev) should work,
$ rpm -qf /usr/share/pkgconfig/udev.pc
systemd-238-8.git0e0aa59.fc28.x86_64
$ rpm -q --provides systemd-238-8.git0e0aa59.fc28.x86_64
[snip]
pkgconfig(udev) = 238
[snip]

(slightly surprising that this is in systemd and not systemd-udev)
