Depends, if you are interested only in libraries, you can afford having various versions of gettext libraries installed at same time -> (with various results)

But having gettext[6,8] binaries, directories, and man pages is not very nice, and gettext is simply not designed for such environment.

If you dont want update installed ports just because of gettext bumping, you dont need. Just keep old libntl (and others) library (for compatibility with older programs) and install new gettext (removing old gettext). And update other ports when you like.

anyway, I think that something similar was in @ports mailing list.
