Having ports update themselves automatically is a *bad* idea. There are often steps one must take to prevent dependency chaos. Another good reason is if most of your ports get bumped like they just did with the gettext update, oh what a surprise you will have.
It's best to take the time to read /usr/ports/UPDATING, figure out what you have to do, and do things in small batches if possible.
Also, if a port has IGNORE set in it and won't build, it is probably for a good reason.
