I can't speak to the first part, but I can speak to the second.

I had a broken texinfo, and in fixing I realized the error came about  
because the port's gettext dependency wasn't specified. When I did a  
trace rebuild after adding the port, the trace also caught an  
undeclared dependency on ncurses. Therefore, I added the undeclared  
dependencies to the port.

Here's the ticket for the texinfo changes:
