I think the native console driver will not easily handle it.  Anyway,
i know of a number of very active Japanese FreeBSD users, and i think
they are perfectly able to use the system under X11.  There's even an
own ports subcollection (ports/japanese) with editors etc.  Perhaps
this could also be a solution for you?

(Sorry, i don't have many clues about East-Asian languages.)

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
