That's becakuse pkgsrc picks up library from your basesystem (and that's
perfectly intended behaviour), which, in this case, is not good enough.

To change this behaviour, add PREFER_PKGSRC=yes to /etc/mk.conf and
recompile (or at least PREFER_PKGSRC=libiconv gettext-lib... and some other
packages, perhaps, that gettext depends on)

Anyway, using a Linux OS with PREFER_PKGSRC set to 'yes' seems very
reasonable for me (I don't have to care about incompatible/old versions of
libs in Linux' basesystem)
