Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 Reverted in r102000. Joshua [http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail
 /macports-dev/2013-January/021682.html pointed out] that libunistring is
 under a more restrictive license than gettext, which adversely affects the
 distributability of some ports depending on gettext. Also, gettext has an
 included copy of libunistring that it can use (just as it has included
 copies of glib, libcroco and libxml that we already use).
