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?

FreeBSD refuses to mount ext2 partitions with the iocharset=utf8 and
 utf8 options. The consequence are not only wrongly displayed file
 names.
     

 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.
