This is not an automake problem. The problem is simply that PKG_CHECK_MODULES is defined in pkg.m4 which is included with the pkg-config package. So if this package isn't installed, autoconf won't be able to replace PKG_CHECK_MODULES with its proper definition.

Using --disable-gtk2 --disable-gnome2 won't help because the problem happens during the autoconf step.
