Magick-config is *supposed* to tell configure that, and Xastir's configure
uses "Magick-config --cppflags" to find those headers.  That it can't 
suggests that Magick-config is lying, or there is something else wrong.

What is the output of "Magick-config --cppflags"?  On your system it sounds
like it *SHOULD* be "-I/usr/include/ImageMagick"  Sounds like it isn't.  If 
not, that would be an error in the installation of ImageMagick.  As in, the 
packager built the thing to install into /usr/include/magick and then moved it 
all after building it to someplace else, without updating Magick-config.

On my system Magic-config --cppflags gives:

  -I/usr/local/include/ImageMagick

which tells configure to look exactly in the directory where my system has
those things installed.

Try looking through config.log to see what is actually happening there.  
Configure's console output is not helpful, but config.log is the one that
has the details of what actually happened during the probe.  

If Magick-config --cppflags does return "-I/usr/include/ImageMagick" then
the error isn't in the packaging of ImageMagick, and the only way to get to 
the bottom of this is to figure out why configure isn't finding it --- and 
that can only be done by examining config.log.
