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.
