So far nobody's stepped up to write iconv for OpenBSD, and we can't
include GNU iconv by default due to the license. I believe FreeBSD
switched to their own implementation a while back; perhaps I should take
a look...
Personally I think iconv is a perfectly reasonable requirement for a
modern mail client, and removing the ability to build nmh without it
(especially since it's POSIX-standardized) makes sense for maintenance
reasons.
