Welcome to MacPorts! Hope we can help you work out these snags.

We've just changed the name from DarwinPorts to MacPorts, changed  
hosting providers from OpenDarwin to Mac OS Forge, so mailing list  
archives are a bit confused right now.

Here are the old archives:

And these are the new archives:

Odd. Something seems to be explicitly looking for libintl.3.dylib,  
which is from gettext 0.14, but you of course have libintl.8.dylib  
from gettext 0.15. Did you previously have gettext 0.14 and upgrade  
to 0.15 or did you start with 0.15? If the former, you must (somewhat  
manually) rebuild everything that had previously been built against  
gettext 0.14.
