There is information about Japanse usage of MHonArc in the documentation,
with links to a user's site that has provided some Japanese-specific
information (site in Japanese).

ISO-2022-JP is usable, but you would need to change some resource
settings to avoid potential problems.  However, this may not work
for you based on how mail-archive.com operates.

Normalizing everything to UTF-8 may be the best approach, but you
need to consider if htdig support UTF-8.

+1

Make sure htdig can handle it.

MHonArc supports translating message character encoding to a specific
charset, like UTF-8.  See the TEXTENCODE resource page for more details.

If you decide to go the TEXTENCODE route, I recommend that you go
with the latest version of perl as possible, or at least, the latest
version of Perl's Encode module.
