Lessons learned from source upgrade from FreeBSD i386 9.2 Stable to FreeBSD
i386 10.0 Release.

A)
Clang does not need to to be installed first.

Many Gnome ports still had issues with continuing to link to
"libiconv.so.3",
such as avahi-app and gdm.

People who deleted all ports, removed /usr/local and reinstalled
have reported that they do not have the problem. 

Apparently, some Gnome components are finicky about how they are built.
A note from

I deleted the contents of /usr/local/lib and ran portupgrade -afu
which rebuilt most of the problematic ports.
