Hopefully others will have more knowledge on this, but...
It wasn't looking for a library. It was running a snippet of code that 
calls iconv_open() to determine what character sets your system 
supports. It has nothing to do with gnome since it is part of the GNU C 
library. Look at the man pages for iconv_open, iconv, etc. Try the 
command iconv --list. On my RH system, iconv is from package 
glibc-common. No idea how this translates to freebsd.
