It is because apple's libiconv doesn't have gettext support.

But yeah, if you have the disk space I would appreciate it if you do it 
like this:

- make sure no fink or opendarwin or whatever stuff is already in your
   path (ie, start a terminal without init.sh or equivalent)
- build each one with --prefix=/opt/kde (and any other options that
   might be necessary) and install them.  Then also install by doing
   "make install DESTDIR=/opt/kdesupport".  This will make sure that
   you have a pristine tree in /opt/kdesupport that's totally clean and
   safe for packaging up.

Once everything's built and installed in /opt/kdesupport, send a tarball 
  of "tar -C /opt/kdesupport -cjf kdesupport.tar.bz2" and I'd be happy 
to make a package out of it.
