I think you have missed a point somehwere and need to install the 
older version. You will have the new version and an old version. You can

cd /usr/ports/devel/gettext-old

and make and install the port. You problem will probably disappear. If 
they do not, you have ports that need to be updated. A cvsup of 
ports-all and then recreating the INDEX files will get you to where 
you need to be to start updating. Any of the ports that still need the 
  ...10.x version will use the gettext-old version once you update them.
