Before trying to go down the path of using a separate chroot just for
building packages from AUR (as suggested by the wiki references you and
Andrea gave), I dug a little deeper into where my problem came from.  It
turns out that pacman would find the installed packages if run inside
the chroot as root but not if run as an unprivileged users (such as the
one I normally use to build packages).  The culprit was too restrictive
restrictions on /var/lib/pacman and the files therein.  Changed the
permissions, and all worked beautifully by just running makepkg inside
the chroot.

Cheers,
