All of the problems you're facing are related to the fact that libintl
(part of gettext) bumped it's major version number, and the programs
you are having problems with are linked against the old version which
you no longer have on your system.
The portupgrade line above (or the equivalent 'portmaster -r gettext')
would have rebuilt gettext first, then every port that depends on it
to make sure that they would still work. This is usually only needed
in a situation like this when a library bumps its major.
For portmaster there is also an option (-w) to save old shared libs
when you do an upgrade so that you can handle upgrading the rest of
the dependent ports gracefully. There is an equivalent option in
portupgrade, I just don't recall what it is.
For the case of bash specifically, there are two ways to avoid this
problem. The first is to build bash static by putting
'WITH_STATIC_BASH= yes' in make.conf, or ports.conf. The other is to
not use bash as your login shell, but rather to use sh, then have a
.profile that starts bash if it's available:
if [ -x /usr/local/bin/bash ]; then
exec /usr/local/bin/bash --login
fi
Personally I do both. :)

You need to force a rebuild of those two ports, assuming that you have
the new gettext installed.

Well I hope that this helps you, and your customers. :)

I know that in-place upgrades are always hard, but you might want to
consider at least upgrading the OS on the 6.0 box. Lots and lots of
bug fixes and performance improvements have been added to the RELENG_6
branch since that one came out.
