PKG_CHECK_EXISTS macro is provided by /usr/share/aclocal/pkg.m4, which belongs to some package required by virtual/pkgconfig.

BDEPEND="virtual/pkgconfig" already present in app-i18n/libchewing ebuilds should make it impossible to reproduce such problem.

Can you still reproduce this problem?

(I cannot reproduce this problem.)

I cannot reproduce it here with current images.
