you update your ports collection, before attempting any port upgrades.

+ AFFECTS: 10-CURRENT users with any port depending on converters/iconv
+ AUTHOR: madpilot@FreeBSD.org
+
+ 10-CURRENT after r254273 (committed on August 13, 2013) has an
+ implementation of iconv enabled by default in libc.
+
+ Due to this change some major overhauling of the ports tree has
+ been necessary to move the ports to using that implementation.
+
+ People using pkgng should have little problems, "pkg upgrade"
+ will update all sofware to not depend on libivconv anymore, once
+ updated packages are available. Please make sure to perform a
+ "pkg autoremove" after that and check that libiconv is correctly
+ removed by it.
+
+ If you are using ports the update requires some manual intervention.
+ The following procedure should be followed:
+
+ # pkg query %ro libiconv >ports_to_update
+ # pkg delete -f libiconv
+ # cat ports_to_update | xargs portmaster
+
+ or:
+
+ # pkg query %ro libiconv >ports_to_update
+ # pkg delete -f libiconv
+ # cat ports_to_update | xargs portupgrade -f
+
