I'm not sure how to modify the libiconv port to do that, but if  
anybody else does, I'd be happy to accept a patch.

I would expect that other ports have problems with items installed  
in /usr/locall, so I recommend you do not install anything in /usr/ 
local. Instead, use MacPorts to install all software.
