Maybe you are using macports? If I get that error there is a problem finding gettext 64bits. IIRC pypy on osx doesn't use gettext at all.
You can try to install a universal (or at least 64bit) gettext like the one from rudix[1][2], but I think your problem is in your python, try to use the apple provided one. I'm lurking at the #pypy channel on freenode and I can try to help.
