We don't really distinguish between kernel and basesystem.  There is a
port of GNU iconv available for installation on OpenBSD, but since
Xorg is part of the base system, it can't depend on it.

I wasn't aware of a BSD-licensed libiconv; I'll have a look at it and
see if it's usable for integration in OpenBSD.

Sorry, but your origional reply cam across to me as rather unhelpful.
