I researched this further (including grabbing new pkgsrc), the problem is
not is Mozilla or gettext.

The configure script for popt for ORBit has:

echo "configure:2325: checking for GNU xgettext" >&5
xgettext --version 2>&1 | grep 'GNU gettext' >/dev/null 2>&1 || { echo
"configure: error:
*** GNU gettext is required. The latest version
*** is always available from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/." 1>&2; exit
1; }

(I have gettext-0.10.35nb1.)
$ xgettext --version
Unrecognized option: -

It does not return any "GNU gettext". I commented this part out and it
builds past this.

(If my luck, continues I'll soon have Mozilla milestone 18.)
