yes I did

no, that doesn't work

# pwd
/usr/pkgsrc/audio/vorbis-tools
# bmake show-var VARNAME=IS_BUILTIN.iconv
yes
# bmake show-var VARNAME=USE_BUILTIN.iconv
no
# bmake show-var VARNAME=CHECK_BUILTIN.iconv
no
# bmake PREFER_NATIVE=iconv show-var VARNAME=IS_BUILTIN.iconv
yes
# bmake PREFER_NATIVE=iconv show-var VARNAME=USE_BUILTIN.iconv
yes
# bmake PREFER_NATIVE=iconv show-var VARNAME=CHECK_BUILTIN.iconv
no


after a quick look into converters/libiconv/builtin.mk it seems that the
CHECK_BUILTIN.iconv variable must be set to "yes" to make buildlink
consider using the native version. I have no idea where this might get 
set - grepping through the mk files revealed nothing (maybe a buildlink3
feature still in the works?)
