The 'gettext' transition period is over by now (in the ports tree).  So 
it's basically a matter of waiting until all the binary packages have 
been rebuilt with the new 'gettext'.  Or maybe this has happened already.

When exactly did you download the Mozilla package?  If it's fresh and 
apparently not updated yet, just wait a couple of days and download 
again.  The problem will eventually go away by itself.
