I won't comment on the choice of software - that is something you have.

However, what you are running into above does not seem like an "issue"
with ejabberd, but rather the packaging system that is being used.  Has
the port maintainer, or in general, the ports tree that is in-use, been
considered as a contact point instead?

crypto ssl z iconv and of course, just plain erlang.  My point here is
that ejabberd might not be your issue...
