It's pretty easy to do some things (although not quite as easy as using the MS Global IME). I have a page that covers getting Japanese support in FreeBSD at http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/jpninpt.html The FreeBSD section is towards the bottom. Also, I've only gotten so far as getting it working in X (as opposed to console) and never did get printing it working correctly, more laziness on my part than it being impossible. Quick rundown, you'll need to install a few things from ports and add a little script to set the language variable.

You and Willow go do the superpower thing, I'll stay behind and putt around the Batcave with crusty old Alfred here. Giles: Ah-ah, no. I am no Alfred, sir. No, you forget. Alfred had a job.
