great work, afaics you have done /usr/X11R6/lib/charset.alias:

audio/gqradio       => PR 58424
games/gnmm          => PR 58369
irc/lostirc         => PR 58427
korean/ami          => PR 58440
mail/sylpheed       => PR 58441
sysutils/gtk-imonc  => PR 58442
sysutils/xcdroast   => PR 58375


now we are just missing /usr/local/lib/charset.alias:

databases/namazu2
devel/arm-rtems-gcc
devel/avr-gcc
devel/i386-rtems-gcc
devel/i960-rtems-gcc
devel/m68k-rtems-gcc
devel/mips-rtems-gcc
devel/powerpc-rtems-gcc
devel/sh-rtems-gcc
devel/sparc-rtems-gcc
net/ap-utils
sysutils/lineakd
sysutils/linneighborhood
textproc/opensp
x11-fm/xfe
