Yeah, just to confirm,

[mtbc]$ lout --@PageType{Letter} <mydoc.lout >mydoc.ps
lout:
        : unable to initialize collation
lout file "/usr/pkg/share/lout/include/lengths" (from "bsf" line 32, from "mydoc-doc" line 17, from "-" line 1):
   80,21: fatal error: exiting now (error in definitions)
[mtbc]$ export LANG=
[mtbc]$ lout --@PageType{Letter} <mydoc.lout >mydoc.ps
[mtbc]$ 

So, an easy workaround at least.
