The OpenBSD C compiler does not look in /usr/local/include or
/usr/local/lib by default but the nmh port's Makefile does.
CONFIGURE_ENV sets up the environment so configure will look
in those locations.  Specifically:

CONFIGURE_ENV=          ac_cv_header_db_h=no \
                        CPPFLAGS="-I${LOCALBASE}/include" \
                        LDFLAGS="-L${LOCALBASE}/lib"

If you run configure like:

CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" ./configure

it will find iconv.
