It's probably some other binary that is missing libintl.so.5 (you
probably yanked it out from underneath when doing a previous upgrade -
if you'd used portupgrade, this wouldn't have happened because it
saves copies of the old libraries in case they're still in use).
gmake is a likely candidate; you'd need to rebuild it.  The libchk
port will tell you if any other applications need to be rebuilt.
