Now I want to know what would happen if I rebuild system with 
WITHOUT_ICONV=yes
in /etc/src.conf
and use libiconv from ports.

Would it work, and would I have to rebuild all ports?

Fortunately, I am not yet very advanced in building ports for FreeBSD 10-STABLE 
and 11-current.

It seems including libiconv in base has adverse side effects, the two can clash 
when both base and ports libiconv are installed.
