Using gmake's 'foreach' and sh's 'for' may be useful.

This is the cleanest solution. Still, if you want alternatives, I
haven't tried this, but foreach may work here, as a generalization of
for:
define do-lang
$(lang).mv.cat: $(.CURDIR)/nls/$(lang)/mv.msg
gencat -new $(.TARGET) $(.ALLSRC)
endef
$(foreach lang,$(LANGS),$(do-lang))
and similarly for the other one. Note that lang either should not
have been defined yet, or defined with =, not :=.
Again, I personally think that your % rule is by far cleaner.

What's wrong with using sh like God intended?
beforeinstall:
for lang in ${LANGS} ; do \
${INSTALL} ${COPY} -o ${BINOWN} -g ${BINGRP} -m ${NOBINMODE} \
$${lang}.mv.cat ${DESTDIR}${NLSDIR}/$${lang}/mv.cat ; \
done
Note the $${lang}, so that sh interprets the variable instead of make.
(Using foreach may also work here.)
Happy hacking,
