Today I have found time to dig into the above problem; it turned out
that the './configure' for pidgin on my FreeBSD 8-CURRENT must be run as:

$ CFLAGS='-I/usr/local/include' CPPFLAGS='-I/usr/local/include' ./configure --disable-vv --disable-nm --disable-tcl

without the CFLAGS and CPPFLAGS it does not see the installed
/usr/local/include/libintl.h;

and even with this ENABLE_NLS is not set to 1 in ./config.h; after
changing this by hand, pidgin runs fine in Spanish with LANG set to
es_ES.ISO8859-1;
