of course, you haven't got the file in the first place :)

pkg_info -W {file} tells you which package (if any) installed that file. Because it's located under /usr/local/, it is highly likely it was installed by a 3rd party package/port , rather than part of the OS

fair enough, i keep mine up to date. you can use 

locate libintl.so 

instead , and see if you have any version of libintl installed.

If you do have a version of libintl in your system, (highly likely if you have gettext installed), then you can try mapping the calls to libintl.so.8 to libintl.so (which should be a soft link to your version of libintl, ie,so.SOMETHING ). You do this by updating /etc/libmap.conf 

a line like 

libintl.so.8    libintl.so

should do the trick.

TFM is @ man libmap.conf :)

not necessarily , it may work with updating libmap.conf
