ports/editors/nvi-devel is another starting point here. As far as I understand it is a further development of nvi which is in base. What I don't like about it is a dependency on databases/db3 and changed (worse, in my opinion) handling of keystrokes in 'insert' mode. But it is iconv-aware implementation already.
