Does following the instructions in /usr/ports/UPDATING for 20141130 fix the
problem?

  AFFECTS: users of devel/gettext (close to everyone)
  AUTHOR: tijl at FreeBSD.org

  The devel/gettext port has been split up in devel/gettext-runtime, a
  lightweight package containing runtime libraries, and devel/gettext-tools,
  a package containing developer tools.  The devel/gettext port still exists
  as a metaport.

  You must first delete the existing installation of gettext and then
  reinstall it.  This will break sudo, so you *must* do this in a root
  shell (sudo -i) if you use sudo.

  # pkg delete -f gettext
  # portmaster devel/gettext

  Or for portupgrade users:

  # pkg delete -f gettext
  # portinstall devel/gettext

  Or for binary users:

  # pkg delete -f gettext
  # pkg upgrade
