Well, it doesn't match my experience. xbmc also seems to no longer
spew thousands of errors per second now that I've rebuild it with
ports' libiconv.

Could you please install www/newsbeuter on your system and see if it
starts up correctly? (you might need to wait for my build-fix on
-CURRENT to go in). Are you actually using a locale/encoding different
from 'C'? Are you using a wide encoding like UTF-8? Maybe that can
narrow down the source of the problem.
