Comment (by mouse07410):

 **Update**. The workaround failed, unfortunately. Some packages refused to
 build with it.

 So I bit the bullet and compiled GHC from the source. It turned out to be
 trivial, if a little time-consuming (CPU time, not mine ;). That way GHC
 that I built uses Macports {{{libiconv}}}, and everything is smooth.

 Based on my current experience with Macports and GHC, I'd say the ghc port
 needs to be simplified: drop dependency on LLVM - GHC people say it's not
 sufficiently debugged, drop attempts to manage Haskell packages via
 Macports - cabal and stack will remain better at that job  anyway. It is
 trying to do too much, which IMHO is why its maintainers find it so hard
 to keep current.
