Ports : Mozilla / Mozilla-devel

[Vince Hoffman]

A quicker (but working so far) way. till you have time to update all your
ports.

ln -s /usr/local/lib/libintl.so /usr/local/lib/libintl.so.4

(probably not recomemded for long term use though. but was enough for me to
get X with GNOME running again.
