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. =20
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. =20

HTH a little, anyway,
