They may be linking against a shared library that requires
libintl.so.4.

At this point, you'll probably have to rebuild all the ports that
depended on the old gettext.  The portupgrade tools minimize this risk
by preserving old shlibs in /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg, so you can
upgrade dependant ports at your leisure.
