You are thinking of "World21". It's an ISO 2022 console driver using JIS 208 + JIS 212 to support 21 printed languages. It was the first LKM, when NetBSD had them and FreeBSD did not. It manually blew the function pointer entry points for the console driver (overwriting the console functions -- an ambitios program). I still have a copy of it (on tape); it installs and runs on NetBSD 0.9. The most recent posting said that it hasn't been ported to FreeBSD yet (that was about a month and a half ago on the Hackers list).
