Thanks. It would be good to not have those diffs if not necessary.

It seems to me that your patch is doing the right thing for adminpack
and that its Makefile has no need to include a reference to libpq
source path, no?
For dblink and postgres_fdw, the duplication comes from PG_CPPFLAGS.
It does not matter much in practice, but it would be nice to not have
unnecessary data in the project files. One thing that could be done
is to make Project.pm more aware of the uniqueness of the elements
included. But, do we really need -I$(libpq_srcdir) there anyway?
From what I can see, we have all the paths in -I we'd actually need
with or without USE_PGXS.

Indeed.

Your patch is grabbing the value of PG_CPPFLAGS from ltree's
Makefile, which is fine. We may be able to remove this flag and rely
on pg_tolower() instead in the long run? I am not sure about
FLG_CANLOOKSIGN() though.
