hmm there aren't profiles without gettext, so it's odd you don't have it. It's probably a thing with disabling nls that doesn't work. We should maybe just remove that flag : fixing this outdated pack seems overdone.
At that time i removed gettext from world (because I thought only stuff I've merged myself should be there) and removed it with depclean. So, the fix for this would be to depend on gettext even without USE="nls" set.
Deps in profile do not need to be specified in ebuilds.
