Comment (by pieside):

 The problems seems to be an old friend:

 {{{
 /home/pierre/tmp/grass7/grass-7.0.3/dist.x86_64-unknown-
 freebsd10.2/lib/libgrass_gis.7.0.3.so: undefined reference to `libiconv'
 /home/pierre/tmp/grass7/grass-7.0.3/dist.x86_64-unknown-

 }}}

 As written in the Porter's Handbook ([https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books
 /porters-handbook/index.html]), there are two versions of libiconv in
 FreeBSD: "FreeBSD  10-CURRENT and newer versions have a native iconv in
 the operating system (in libc). On earlier versions, converters/libiconv
 was used as a dependency". So we have a System iconv and Libiconv iconv
 (/usr/local/include/iconv.h).

 One way to overcome this is to deinstall and remove
 /usr/local/include/iconv.h. But some really important softwares depend on
 it: "Despite the default implementation of iconv enabled by default in
 libc, a few ports (like [http://www.freshports.org/devel/glib20/)] depend
 on converters/libiconv again due to missing functionality in the base
 iconv implementation" (written in the /usr/ports/UPDATING file).

 Another solution is suggested in this post (http://osdir.com/ml/grass-
 development-gis/2014-12/msg00435.html). I did add "ICONVLIB = -liconv" in
 include/Make/Platform.make but it doesn't compile for me.

 What all this evoke to you?
