It looks like libc has gotten better:

http://news.gw.com/freebsd.i18n/507

and the first UTF-8 locale commited

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/share/mklocale/am_ET.UTF-8.src

But I don't see a collation definition file for the above locale. Last 
time I checked (more than a year ago) - colldef didn't support UTF-8 and 
it still seems to be the issue.
