I believe (as I indicated offline to Ryo) that the following syntax is already supported:
> TOOLS_DEPENDS.xgettext=	gettext-tools>=0.18.3:../../devel/gettext-tools

This seems a reasonably usable [and existing] syntax.

The default is currently:
> richard@omnis:/home/richard/src/pkgsrc/x11/gtk3$ bmake show-var VARNAME=TOOLS_DEPENDS.xgettext
> gettext-tools>=0.15:../../devel/gettext-tools

because the following is set in mk/tools/gettext.mk:
> _TOOLS_DEP.gettext-tools=	gettext-tools>=0.15

As Patrick indicated, the problem does seem less the version involved than the build options for gettext-tools.

I believe Ryo's problem remains how to force using pkgsrc version... perhaps the best thing is to simply
set "TOOLS_PLATFORM.xgettext=  #" in this case in mk.conf (not to mention msgfmt & msgmerge)...
