Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 This particular crash is in realpath. Within the gettext source there is
 the file canonicalize.m4 which is built into the configure script which
 tests for the capabilities of the realpath function; it seems to be this
 test which is crashing and thus showing a crash reporter dialog box.
 Perhaps the other ports you've seen to display a crash reporter dialog box
 are using the same canonicalize.m4 test. Or perhaps they are unrelated
 crashes.

 In this case anyway, I've reported the problem to the developers of
 gettext: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?33273 . For other ports, you
 should report the problems directly to the developers; there's likely
 nothing MacPorts-specific about the problem, and MacPorts will get the fix
 as the upstream developers release new versions.

 Be aware that support for Tiger, both in MacPorts and in the developer
 community, is waning as fewer people have access to Tiger machines
 anymore.
