Josh has pointed out in the ticket that not all ports need the gettext build dependency. Those that use auto(re)conf do, and select others may as well. The remaining ports may be able to just use the gettext-runtime library dependency. Please use your best judgement (and, for example, testing by using trace mode) in deciding how to update your ports' gettext dependencies.
