Still slumming along on Leopard here, not Snow Leopard, but IIRC I now  
have to configure with --disable-libiconv in order to force FreeTDS to  
use its own iconv routines.  I don't remember the details, but there's  
some funny business about the iconv that comes with Mac OS X.  At one  
time I think --disable-libiconv was done by default on OS X; I'm not  
sure if that was removed intentionally or fell by the wayside  
accidentally (or if I simply misremember).

This would only help if the link errors you're seeing are related to  
iconv.  Otherwise, people would need to see the exact details of those  
errors in order to advise you.
