The original ISO was built with gettext-0.11.5 (?), before the big
update. One option to install and keep a system current is pkg_chk, you
specify a list of packages you want and it will keep them current.
For binary-only operation, currently create an empty Makefile in
/usr/pkgsrc and set the package directory with -P explictly to the
remote repository.

The warning about OS version mismatch can normally ignored as long as
the package was build for an *older* version. Vice versa can make
problems, since some bugfixes affect the binary ABI.
