--- Comment #8 from Don Lewis <truckman at FreeBSD.org> ---
I you link to an external library without declaring it as a LIB_DEPENDS, there
is nothing that prevents that library from being removed and breaking boost. 
Also, if that library has it's version bumped, you won't know that you need to
rebuild boost, and it will just break.

There is nothing wrong with boost using the base iconv implementation in base. 
If there was, then the package builders would blow up when building
multimedia/aegisub and games/wesnoth, but portsmon isn't showing any build
failures.
