Two remarks:

1. There is also the possibility to install autopoint support
   with neither git nor cvs: The 3MB archive can be installed
   directly. So perhaps this should be better something like
   IUSE="autopoint cvs +git"
   RDEPEND="autopoint? (
        git? ( dev-vcs/git )
        !git? ( cvs? ( dev-vcs/cvs ) )
   )"

2. Since >=gettext-0.18.1, cvs is no longer support
   (but the options git or 3 MB archive still are).
