if i understand your email correctly, the po files in docmessages are used 
to update the index.docbook for the final translations and this is done 
automatically (by scripty, i believe). And you are saying this is 
done only at KDE official release time. according to the last commit by 
coolo in the following directory, the problem might have been fixed.
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/l10n/pt_BR/docs/extragear-graphics/digikam/
"our translation files are now indepedent on KDE releases and named 
localization..."

but someone in the translation team can verify this.
