I don't think that's related at all to glib2.

This was reported on the list some months ago, and I believe the  
solution was to forcibly uninstall libiconv (sudo port -f uninstall  
libiconv), clean the work area (sudo port clean --work libiconv),  
make sure there were no lingering libiconv items left over (have a  
look in /opt/local/lib and remove any iconv items you find), and then  
reinstall it (sudo port install libiconv). See the previous thread:
