Thanks for the help.  Looking at the vmime.pc file, I can see that the 
paths are wrong.

Unfortunately, when I added pkgconfg to my inherit list, cleaned the 
package and then re-bitbaked, I still get the same error message.  I 
verified that vmime.pc is removed during the clean process (along with 
the other temp files).

I changed the inherit line of my recipe to read:
inherit scons pkgconfig

Here's what my vmime.pc file looks like after bitbake:

prefix=/home/ppeimany/overo-oe/tmp/work/armv7a-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/libvmime-0.9.1-r1/image/usr
