There is no iconv at all in the base system. Any port that requires
iconv sets the USE_ICONV Makefile variable, which will add the
converters/libiconv (GNU iconv) port as a dependency.
The link I gave above is for a BSD-licensed version of iconv, but it
never got into the base system, just the ports tree.
