"man pkg-config" documents PKG_CONFIG_PATH and pkg-config in general.

That isn't right. ;-) make install works fine as far as I know.

The install should have placed some of the .pc files into
prefix/lib/pkgconfig/. What do you have there?

Then you should set your PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable to find
those files in prefix/lib/pkgconfig, just as you probably set PATH and
LD_LIBRARY_PATH and so on for that prefix.

The problem is that you installed gtk+-2.0-uninstalled.pc, I believe.
As you might guess by the name, it is not supposed to be
installed. ;-)

"pkg-config --list-all" is useful for debugging, it shows what
pkg-config can find.
