Currently, emul packages can install /usr/lib32/pkgconfig files (when
enabling "development" USE flag). This was added because, as emul sets
tend to be obsolete in a few weeks, people compiling packages against
its lib32 provided libs were getting build failures due "native"
pkgconfig files (usually from newer libs) were being used.

Regarding /usr/include, it looks harder to solve, current emul packages
simply don't provide headers at all, but it caused issues like this in
the past:

Maybe installing headers in other place would be interesting :/
