Some two years ago, I put together a document describing how to run
FreeBSD under UTF-8 now.  It is still available here:

http://opal.com/jr/freebsd/unicode/

It contains notes about what is needed to make the base system
and various tools and ports work with UTF-8.  Some of the ports info
may need updating, but it is still more-or-less accurate.

Based on discussion on this list and -current at the time, there is
also a roadmap documenting what would be needed to before FreeBSD
can be switched.  Konrad's collation work is one of the major items
on that list.
