If a .po file doesn't compile, then it's considered a bug and you can
either post the problem here on pkgsrc-users@, or preferably by sending
a PR on the issue (send-pr).

No, I do not believe that is currently an option, though the idea is
interesting for those who want to tune their builds. I have been
working on a generic solution for limiting the files included in an
installation, but it would not help in this case because it works during
the install phase, not the build phase, so *.po file compilation errors
would still cause the build to break.
