Yes that is the solution and I committed it here: https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commit/8addb4df7ea4e8da28e059e28052f68b8bad02cb Only when you use the +apns variant, dovecot regenerates the configure script from configure.ac (because it applies a patch to configure.ac). configure.ac references the AM_ICONV macro so the port that provides that macro must be present at build time. From its name it seems like the AM_ICONV macro should be provided by the libiconv port but for whatever reason it's actually provided by the gettext port.
