Missing dependency on gettext in libqalculate is holding back KDE builds since December

Any chance of somebody fixing a missing dependency on gettext when NLS 
is off:

   
http://portsmon.freebsd.org/portoverview.py?category=math&portname=libqalculate
   ==>
     https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=195857
     https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=195908


Besides math/libqalculate there is also net/mediastreamer and 
audio/easytag
which fail for the same reason:

   configure: error: GNU gettext tools not found; required for intltool
   ===>  Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.
   Please report the problem to jhale at FreeBSD.org [maintainer] and attach 
the
   
"/wrkdirs/usr/ports/math/libqalculate/work/libqalculate-0.9.7/config.log" 
[...]


The failure to build libqalculate is holding back builds and upgrades
of KDE essentials like x11/kde4-workspace :

   x11/kde4-workspace
   x11-themes/kdeartwork4
   deskutils/kdeplasma-addons
   misc/kdeedu4
   x11-clocks/kdetoys4
   x11-clocks/ktux
   math/cantor

which (for some obscure reason) all depend on libqalculate.

Inability to build KDE (with NLS off) has been going on since
early December 2014, presumably after the last gettext overhaul.
