No, that does not indicate any problem. MacPorts automatically looks  
for variants of certain names in all ports. Most ports do not provide  
these variants, and MacPorts, in debug mode, prints a message about  
that. It's not an error. It's just informative.

So all your problems at this point stem from gettext 0.17 not  
installing. I'm the maintainer of gettext, but I've never seen this  
error before. I can't imagine why the gettext work directory wouldn't  
exist. Please clean and try again.

sudo port clean --work gettext
sudo port install gettext

Let us know if you get the same (or different) errors then.
