Yes.

When you get a new .pot file, just back up your po file (just to be
safe) and then run

msgmerge -o he.po.new he.po gaim.pot && mv -fv he.po.new he.po

This should pick out the usable lines for you. If it doesn't work
(which should not happen) you have your backup :D

It will also try to "guess" some new strings and mark them "fuzzy".
You'll need to go over the fuzzy strings somewhat carefully; sometimes
there are subtle but important changes.

As above :-)
