It doesn't do that here:

# pkg_which /usr/local/bin/msgcat
gettext-0.17_1

# ldd /usr/local/bin/msgcat
/usr/local/bin/msgcat:
	libgettextsrc-0.17.so => /usr/local/lib/libgettextsrc-0.17.so (0x2807e000)
	libgettextlib-0.17.so => /usr/local/lib/libgettextlib-0.17.so (0x280b2000)
	libncurses.so.6 => /lib/libncurses.so.6 (0x281b2000)
	libintl.so.8 => /usr/local/lib/libintl.so.8 (0x281f1000)
	libiconv.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.3 (0x281fa000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x282d9000)

I wonder why it's dragged in all of those...?
