(This has actually nothing to do with vala, it's really a waf question.)
Anyway, you need to use conf.check_cfg like it is done for glib,
something like:

conf.check_cfg(package = 'libgda-4.0',
               uselib_store = 'GDA',
               mandatory = True,
               args = '--cflags --libs')

and use GDA in the uselib for your application.

HTH,
