Lessons learned from source upgrade from FreeBSD i386 9.2 Stable to FreeBSD
i386 10.0 Release.

Many Gnome ports still had issues with continuing to link to
"libiconv.so.3",
such as avahi-app and gdm.
People who deleted all ports, removed /usr/local and reinstalled
have reported that they do not have the problem.
Apparently, some Gnome components are finicky about how they are built.
A note from

I deleted the contents of /usr/local/lib and ran portupgrade -afu
which rebuilt most of the problematic ports.
