Yes I had that problem before, it used to happen every time I upgraded 
gettext but since I've been using portupgrade and portinstall for all my 
ports it hasn't happened since then.
The way I used to solve the problem I would create symlink to whatever 
version of libintl.so. present in my /usr/local/lib/, run this command:

ls /usr/local/lib/libintl.so.*

to see which one you have, right now I have libintl.so.4 on mine, if you 
have this one just symlink it:

ln -s /local/lib/libintl.so.4 /usr/local/lib/libintl.so.2

This should solve your problem.
