Read "man otool".  That will explain it better than I can. :-)

It looks like your dpkg was built against a later libiconv, and then the 
latter was downgraded to an older version.  By any chance did you 
install something from the unstable tree and then try to revert your 
base packages?

Unfortunately, once dpkg is broken it's pretty hard to do anything with 
Fink.
