If you downgrade icu to 58.1 or earlier the build would abort when
checking BUILD_DEPENDS rather than at configure stage. Version requirements
like that are used to facilitate partial upgrades (not all dependencies
in sync or up-to-date) but the support is fragile/untested as there's no
handholding in case of issues.

FreshPorts, pkg query and pkg rquery: versions of dependencies

I say "probably" because I'm not sure how to interpret the>=59.1,1
alongside these results from pkg:

$ pkg query '%do %dv %R' mail/thunderbird | grep icu
devel/icu 62.1_2,1 FreeBSD
$ pkg rquery '%do %dv %R' mail/thunderbird | grep icu
devel/icu 63.1,1 FreeBSD
