Comment:

 The libiconv port works as intended. Mangling of function names is normal.
 The developers of libiconv have engineered it to work this way
 specifically so that it does not conflict with an OS-provided iconv
 library, which, depending on the OS, may or may not be libiconv. See
 #43698 for a prior discussion of this situation.

 I don't know why you're having whatever problem you're having, but it is
 not a bug in the libiconv port. If you need help resolving it, you could
 ask on the MacPorts mailing lists.
