Read /usr/ports/UPDATING there is a significant change that may affect 
you and which in any case indicates it is a good time to update all ports:

20070318:
   AFFECTS: users of devel/gettext (ie: YOU)
   AUTHOR: ade at FreeBSD.org

   As a result of the upgrade to gettext-0.16.1, the shared library
   version of libintl has changed, so you will need to rebuild all
   ports that depend on gettext (ie: most of them, sorry)

Partially upgrading can give some errors like the one you mention. Note: 
I don't say that your problem is caused by this upgrade, but you will 
resolve the problem and avoid future dependency problems if you update 
all ports.

Cheers, Erik
