Which version? To OpenBSD 4.8-
release or to a snaphot of
-current?

However when I try and update the packages some of the packages give errors regarding gettext. I've tried updating manually via pkg_add and ports.

What command did you use to obtain the ports tree? If you used the following:
# cvs -d$CVSROOT checkout -P ports
This command will get the HEAD of CVS for the ports branch which targets
-current. The command which
should have been used is
(assuming OpenBSD 4.8 is installed...):
# cvs -d$CVSROOT checkout -rOPENBSD_4_8 -P ports
Section 15.4.1 of the FAQ discusses common errors made which will cause compilation errors. Mismatching the version of .the tree to what version of the operating system installed is perhaps the most common cause.
