This should have been fixed by commits 7443 and 7445 in area51 (7444 and 7445 
fix calligra), which should be added to the ports tree.

In short (for future reference), the CMake check in KOffice (and in Calligra) 
called try_run and did not pass iconv's include directory and libraries to it, 
so it only worked if iconv was installed into /usr or another path 
automatically searched by the compiler.

There was a sed in the Makefile which was supposed to fix it, but this should 
not be solved with a sed (it's difficult to read and also wrong, as cmake 
calls the compiler and the linker separately).

I've also sent this patch upstream [1][2].
