Nothing for ls -ald /var/db/pkg/.*

is a positive point.

What is completely wrong for a 4.3 release, as Jacob said,

your libiconv should be  *libiconv-1.9.2p5

*as a result your gettext is also wrong, should be *gettext-0.16.1
*You, somehow, incorrectly installed the latest gettext (from current)

and correctly try to install glib2 from release. Wich is not compatible.
Since you don't have dot entries in the /var/db/pkg

you probably can pkg_delete gettext and libiconv

and reinstall them from the proper 4.3 release packages.
