There is this:

http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19381

But it only relates to building p5-locale-gettext for a different  
architecture than the default one. Did you request a different  
architecture by setting build_conf in macports.conf, or are you just  
trying to build the default way, which should work?


I assume you upgraded to Snow Leopard from Leopard? If so, did you  
follow the migration procedure and uninstall and reinstall all ports?
