Dunno for sure.  Obviously we have a problem
with make expecting something that's not there.

It's possible that:

    1.  You should just try to install gettext first,
    and you will get more insight into the issue.

    2.  You could re-cvsup the ports tree and try
    again and it would work.

    3.  You could issue
        #touch /usr/ports/devel/gettext/work/gettext-0.11.5/doc/gettext.info
           as root and see what happens next ;-)

It's obvious that I'm grasping at straws, but if
we wait around a while, somebody smarter will
likely pipe up ...
