If you've been having troubles upgrading FreeBSD ports due to conflicts between version of devel/gettext, your problems are over. Joe Marcus Clarke's post to freebsd-ports indicates he's set all ports requiring gettext to use the newest version. The problem originated with the way the gettext port was modified in late January. I just updated all ports on my FreeBSD 4.9 STABLE system and am doing the same on my FreeBSD 5.2 RELEASE box now. Everything seems to work ok.
