Are you running bash, by any chance?  Because bash is usually linked to
libintl, for its internationalized messages.

In any case, it looks like there is a mismatch between your libc.so, and
your ports.  Did you recently update your base system?

How did you update those ports?  Did you rebuild them, or install
precompiled binary packages?  If the latter, where exactly did you
retrieve those packages from?
