Did you set it to zh_TW.Big or zh_TW.Big5?  It should be the latter. 
Can you try the attached patch to libconv, and see if it helps?  I'm not
sure if it will.  libiconv should already know about BIG5.  You will
need to rebuild and reinstall libiconv after putting this patch into
/usr/ports/converters/libiconv.

You need to make sure you're using the marcusmerge script to merge all
the ports from my CVS repo into the main ports tree.  Specifically, the
bsd.gnome.mk files to be merged.
