Got hit by this one as well.

I was able to get past this problem by doing the following (ugly workaround):

cd /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_gnome_gnumeric/gnumeric/work/gnumeric-1.12.45/doc
cp de/de.mo cs/cs.mo

And the start the install process again. (I ran itstool manually before that, but it shouldn't be necessary)

It looks like the basic problem is that the relevant localization files have non-breaking spaces, and when something in the XML processing itstool does fails it tries to report that as a warning like so:

                sys.stderr.write('Warning: Could not merge %stranslation for msgid:\n%s\n' % (                                                                           
                        (lang + ' ') if lang is not None else '',                    
                        msgstr.encode('utf-8')))          

where msgstr is the thing containing the non-breaking space. And somewhere under the hood that tries to treat the return value of encode as ASCII, which of course it's not, and things blow up. So the attempt to report a warning completely breaks the compile.

I managed to install gnumeric by just editing /opt/local/bin/itstool (with sudo) to comment out those three lines. I don't know whether itstool should be doing a try around that statement or something else to avoid the exception there.

Resolution: fixed
Status: assignedclosed

I still see the nonbreaking spaces in the msgstr in the cs po file, but I don't see this build failure anymore with gnumeric 1.12.47, so maybe there was a different cause. Shall we call it fixed? (If it's still a problem, feel free to reopen; if so, probably helpful to provide a new main.log file.)
