Hi, Guido. Thanks for your response.

Not sure about this users particular situation, except that it appears 
they are experiencing some problems compiling libiconv [0]. Another user 
seems to be experiencing problems (re)installing php5x-iconv, which has 
rendered something broken [1]. This makes me reluctant to proceed with 
my upgrades for fear that similar will occur.

Also, I'm not usng svn, but portsnap; don't know if it matches r341775.

I appreciate your advice, but I think I will wait before updating these 
ports. Hopefully things get cleaned up a bit. I would not be happy if 
something breaks.
