    Looks like you got bitten by a recent bug-ette in gettext. I'm sure it'll be
    fixed soon enough but in the meantime, follow the directions below and you

    You have to
    pkg_delete -f gettext-0.12.1
    cd /usr/ports/devel/gettext-old
    make install

    [and do the hold_pkgs thing]
    as described at

    hopefully we'll be able to remove that soon.
