Oof. Your path has the Fink paths (/sw/bin, /sw/sbin) listed first.  
Do you have Fink installed, and various software installed with Fink?  
If so, that may be a recipe as disaster. Possibly some parts of the  
Fink installation are now being used by MacPorts, which will lead to  
unpredictability as the MacPorts port authors have not tested with  
that configuration. Can you remove Fink or do you need it for something?

Which port was it that was being built when that message about  
gettext was shown?
