Hmmm it seems also iconv:

33 charsets are supported in this port: most Unicode encodings,
all charsets for which locale exist in FreeBSD, few IBM-DOS ones.

There are 68 charset modules in this port: those for all charsets
presented at the Unicode site but not included into the main
iconv package.

The new libxml2 is linked with libgiconv, the old (the one I have installed)
was linked with libiconv.
