Thanks for the bug report.

Pango's configure script is very complicated.  Could you please try to
cut it down to a short test case?  The smallest possible configure.ac
that still reproduces the phenomenon (of failing to detect Xft).  Send
us that, and it'll be much easier for us to experiment with it.

Since you say that Xft is installed outside the system default search
paths, it would also help to know exactly where it _is_ installed, and
any other details of how your system is set up that seem like they
might be relevant.
