Because Trevor changed all ports which previously depended on gettext to
depend upon getext-old and nobody cared to check if it works with the
new one or not.

The only reason why you should use the old one is: both gettext ports
conflict with each other and as long as you have a lot dependencies on
the old one you can't use the new one. If it works for you, go ahead and
use it.

I think most of the ports committers wait for an official "this is the
way to go" statement from gettext-involved persons.
