I've put a slightly different patch (some improvements to the Dutch
translation) at http://people.freebsd.org/~rene/patches/nls-r189223.diff

It works fine on CURRENT after adding the appropriate stuff to ~/.login_conf.

The only problem is that during buildworld, the temporary directories for
storing the translations are not created.  I had to create them manually,
and continue the build with the NO_CLEAN flag (to prevent them getting
deleted again).

Regards,
Rene
