The short answer is that you need to rebuild libiconv +universal, or follow the Migration instructions if applicable. This has come up so often on the list and in the issue tracker since Snow Leopard's release three years ago that it's time for me to write a ProblemHotlist entry for it. I'll reply here again when I've written it.

The "port select" command does not do what you think it does. The command you're looking for is "port activate".
