you can try to use the -X option of valac to define GETTEXT_PACKAGE 
(e.g.: valac -X -D'GETTEXT_PACKAGE="sampala"' ...).

You may also want to have a look at the config.vapi file inside the vapi 
directory of sampala: when everything is configured in sampala, 
GETTEXT_PACKAGE is defined in a C header config.h. The config.vapi file 
allows you to use some of the information of the config.h in a vala program.

Bests,
        Giulio.
