Did you previously have kde-4 on this machine? ldconfig -r |grep gettext 
should show a /usr/local/kde4/../libgettext.so, but that isn't usuable, so 
new port builds will see 'a libgettext', so wont install gettext, but kde's 
configure finds it is not usuable, so will default to it's internal copy of 
gettext, which doesn't compile cleanly.
cd /usr/ports/devel/kdesdk
${EDITOR} `make -V WRKSRC`/config.log
that should show hints why it does not find gettext usable.

(Yep, been bitten by it).

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
    and never get to the software part.
