Description
Apparently gettext @0.18.1.1 now depends on aspell. Now I am sure there are lots of aspell fans out there, but I am not one of them. aspell conflicts with ispell, which I use extensively with special custom dictionaries. For me to rev to the latest gettext means I would need to ditch ispell, which I not willing to do. Please fix gettext to not depend exclusively on aspell. I would prefer an option not to include apsell at all.

In fact, the dependency path that gets to aspell is as follows:
gimp2 webkit-gtk enchant aspell
The change that caused this was the enabling of the help browser by default (now that up to date help files are available) and this brings in the dependency on webkit-gtk.
You can get rid of this by disabling the help_browser variant
sudo port install gimp2 -help_browser
You might also look at the documentation on enchant which claims to support ispell, aspell, hunspell, etc. Perhaps some configuration there might do the trick.

For information on configuring enchant see (assuming enchant is installed)
man enchant
However, the real problem is that ports ispell and aspell conflict. To fix this you need to be able to build enchant without aspell support (and hence no dependency on aspell). Then enchant and ispell could be installed at the same time and enchant could (in theory) use the ispell dictionaries.
This is not really a problem with gimp2 so closing as wontfix.
Suggest you open an appropriate ticket against enchant. Have CC'ed that ports maintainer.
Sorry, I misspoke. It seems that gimp2 is the culprit. Updating to the latest gimp2 requires aspell.
