Comment (by jsalort):

 I have tried to fix the Portfile, but I do not have experience with
 Haskell build systems. I only need alex because it is a build dependency
 of pandoc.

 This is what I tried:

 {{{
 configure.ldflags-append \
     -L${configure.sdkroot}/usr/lib -liconv
 destroot.env-append \
     "LDFLAGS=${configure.ldflags}"
 configure.args-append \
     --extra-lib-dirs=${configure.sdkroot}/usr/lib \
     --ghc-options="-L${configure.sdkroot}/usr/lib -liconv"
 build.args-append \
     --extra-lib-dirs=${configure.sdkroot}/usr/lib \
     --ghc-options="-L${configure.sdkroot}/usr/lib -liconv"
 }}}

 Are there other ways to provide link options ?

 Side note: there is also a "stack" variant, and it yields the same iconv
 link error.
