It appears there are two ports which install a "msgfmt" program, namely
devel/gettext as /usr/local/bin/msgfmt, and x11-toolkits/xview as
/usr/X11R6/bin/msgfmt. 

This collides when one of them is installed, and the other is needed. Is
there a sane way to solve this other than to depend on things which the
port in reality does not depend on?

A few ports have something like this in their Makefile which causes
problems when a different msgfmt is installed:

BUILD_DEPENDS= msgfmt:${PORTSDIR}/devel/gettext

(example taken from net/kdetelnet, but there are more)
