I don't think we can. I think we need to explicitly require it or use
ifdef:s to specialcase the situation where ngettext functionality is
present. I think the latter was the proposed solution at GU4DEC
(http://www.menthos.com/l10n/gu4dec-i18n-bof/img15.html).
I admit I'm not very knowledgeable about the details though, and I've
tried to raise the issue in
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116236.
