Also for the archives - this is the change in question:

  http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports?view=revision&revision=348854

The ticket mentions this:

  The previous commit made git use nl_langinfo instead of
  locale_charset but did not bump PORTREVISION. Bump it now that
  libiconv no longer exports locale_charset.

This is not how it goes, at least in FreeBSD. FreeBSD doesn't
increase .so version numbers in third-party software, but bumps
PORTREVISION of the port if needed (which was done in this case, cf.
the SVN log). Then, all other ports that depend on libiconv should
simply get their PORTREVISIONs bumped as well (unless no binary
incompatibility was introduced).

We build TL (including clisp and xindy) outside of that automated
building system, which sometimes causes minor inconveniences. Nobody
did anything wrong - there was a problem and you located it, that's all.

A resolution will be to build clisp without libiconv (you said that
xindy functionality doesn't depend on it), and that's exactly what I'm
trying to do right now.
