Interestingly LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 works well with xterm, but with xterm only.
All other apps from the ports tree like VLC or any KDE app like konsole
or konqueror
do not support utf-8. Perhaps we should reassign this bug to the ports
project.
Or do you think about a kernel charset conversion for
filenames(iocharset=utf8)
as an additional option?

I don't think this is a bug. For me FreeBSD ext2fs works fine with UTF-8
encoded file names providing that you have configured locale settings
correctly.
Do you expect "iocharset=utf8" and "utf8" mount options to convert
file names to some other encoding? AFAIK even Linux doesn't support such
options for ext2.
