I have a few Zope+Plone systems running on top of Sarge's Python 2.3.5,
apparently without problems.

On Sarge there is now a
      /etc/python2.3/site.py
where you can set the default encoding by changing
the appropriate assignment:

encoding = "utf-8" # Default value set by _PyUnicode_Init()

[used a few lines below in a  sys.setdefaultencoding(encoding) ]

I haven't checked recently if this is still *needed* for utf-8 usage in
Plone.   But it certainly caused no problems (I'm using utf-8 in all
those Plone sites).
