How do you have such an old libiconv? It's compatibility version 9.0.0 for me:

% otool -L /opt/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib 
/opt/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib:
	/opt/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib (compatibility version 9.0.0, current version 9.1.0)

Sorry, i don't know, but the mac is rather a recent model (macMini Server 2009) and with Snow Leopard 10.6 (NON-server version).

have not used macports for quite some time on this computer though, as it seems, and also the mpv player package could not get to install atm.

If you haven't updated your ports in over a year, you may run into issues, because we only maintain automated upgrade paths for things like renamed or replaced ports for one year. At minimum you should run sudo port selfupdate and sudo port rev-upgrade, and if that doesn't fix the problems, it may be quickest to just uninstall all ports and start again.

thanks, seems uninstalling and re-installing was the solution. bi´now it is installed. i did run

sudo port selfupdate

prior i think but it would not solve the issue.

or maybe it was

sudo port selfupgrade

sorry i cant remember it properly.

thanks
