After much poking around, I think I've found the connector that's suffered
some water damage when my iPhone 3GS got drowned recently (connector 4).

I can see a bit of white stuff around some of the connections on the
motherboard and on the plug. What's the best way to clean this off?

Well I'd say that the damage you will be looking for is what you can't see,
under any components etc.

I use a fibreglass PCB cleaning brush from Maplin. As Brian has said,
though, there may well be damage that's out of sight under the connector.

A good look through a high powered magnifying glass may let you see it.

If you didn't remove all batteries immediately and dry it quickly, there
will be other damage, I'd bet.

Ha! Try removing the battery from an iPhone quickly! ;-)

Despite this problem, iPhones do seem to survive immersion relatively well
compared to some phones.

A gentle scrub of the PCB with an old toothbrush.

Having a minimal number of buttons (no keyboard) helps.
