It's probably using pkg-config and FreeBSD doesn't ship with a .pc file for libusb.

Create files like so
[midget 12:51] ~ >cat /usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig/libusb.pc 
prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include

Name: libusb
Description: USB access library
Version: 0.1
Libs: -L${libdir} -lusb
Cflags: -I${includedir}

[midget 12:51] ~ >cat /usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig/libusb-1.0.pc 
prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include

Name: libusb
Description: USB access library
Version: 1.0.1
Libs: -L${libdir} -lusb
Cflags: -I${includedir}



and try it again.

It would be nice if FreeBSD shipped with those files in (say) /usr/libdata/pkgconfig and the pkg-config port was tweaked to search there as well but it hasn't happened yet..
