I have finally gotten around looking into this.

What is happening is that the

   /usr/bin/msgfmt -o kbstateapplet.gmo ./kbstateapplet.po

does not generate any output (even though it does not return any
error as its return code...) Adding the -v flag gives the error

   ./kbstateapplet.po: warning: no header entry found
   found 1 fatal errors

Finally, adding the -f flag makes msgfmt generate output for this
file (although it does not seem to help for all files in the three
other packages that are failing in the same way...)

I guess the pkg need a newer version of msgfmt than the 7 year old
GNU gettext 0.10.35 included in NetBSD 2.0.2...
