This option is always in my /etc/make.conf.

The problem is that the samba port (to be more exact, the
ports/devel/popt port) does not honor the WITHOUT_NLS option.

Up to this moment, I have managed to do without gettext :)
Some ports support WITHOUT_NLS, some (like samba) require slight
hacking to get rid of gettext.

I tried to teach ports/devel/popt to honor WITHOUT_NLS, it was not
successful, so I decided to teach the samba port to use the internal
popt in which I succeeded.

Why do you need the external popt in samba anyway?
