If nothing else, I've learned about checking locations and architectures of
libraries in this little adventure, so I had checked that prior to writing.
 I do in fact have the universal binary installed.  What's more, both the
macport and system versions are universal.  I tried telling cabal to
explicitly use each, separately, and it failed both times, though it gave me
a different error when compiling against the system lib.  (It complained
about readline again, which is why I assumed readline had some dependency on
iconv.)

I'm going to try what Gwern recommended (using the darcs repository for
lambdabot) before I continue down this route.

Thanks for your persistence.
