I'm handing this back to the -ports community at large. 
AbiWord is a mess, including its own copies of libole2, expat, 
and iconv (which is the problem here).  For this to be done 
right, appropriate LIB_DEPENDS need adding to the Makefile and 
incredible amounts of hackery will be needed in the various 
Makefiles to link against these external libraries. 

Oh, and an upgrade to 0.7.11 didn't help.

I made a simple attempt (no deep hacks) at updating the port to 0.7.11.  
It compiles for me, but crashes when I run it, after displaying an error
message about not being able to find its fonts.  I noticed the names of
many of the fonts (in the fonts.dir file) have spaces in them, but without
the double quotes around them that the mkfontdir man page says are needed.  
I tried adding the quotes and restarting X, but it made no difference.  I
made a patch of what I have, not including the quotes in the fonts.dir
file:
