No.  Conversion will happen in a pipe:

    msgconv -o - --to UTF-8 LL.po | msgfmt -o LL.gmo -

I don't thinks the lack of gettext 0.11.x will necessarily cause a
fatal error.  I 'msgconv' is missing just fall back to 'cat'.  This
should work quite good for most of those who don't have a reasonable
glibc or gettext version installed (I bet those are mainly interested in
english messages only).
