There are *NO* ports that depend on devel/gettext, so it is not really
much of an issue.
The conflict between devel/gettext and devel/gettext-old should kill
exactly *zero* percent of the ports tree.

The problems that people have had has usually been because they tried
to update their installed ports (that were installed before gettext-old
was created) and in the process got the dependencies screwed up
somehow.  This is problem with the updating process used, not with the
ports tree itself.

If you install everything from scratch there are no problems.
