Is your ports tree up to date?  You should really be installing
fetchmail-6.2.0.

Run "make configure" in ports/devel/gettext; you should see something
like this:

 checking for utimes... yes
 checking for memset... yes
 checking for stpcpy... no
 checking for strcspn... yes
 checking for strcasecmp... yes

which means that gettext could not find stpcpy and it will use an
internal vesion instead.
