Hrm, locale(5) shows…
week followed by a list of three values separated by semicolons: The
number of days in a week (by default 7), a date of beginning of
the week (by default corresponds to Sunday), and the minimal
length of the first week in year (by default 4). Regarding the
start of the week, 19971130 shall be used for Sunday and
19971201 shall be used for Monday. See NOTES.
… but that’s neither accessible…
tglase@tglase-nb:~ $ locale -kc first_weekday
LC_TIME
first_weekday=1
tglase@tglase-nb:~ $ locale -kc week
locale: unknown name "week"

I’m honestly not interested in working on ncal, given I don’t even use
it and have a perfectly working implementation (I *did*, initially,
plan on patching ncal to support various standards for calendar week
calculation, until I found that OpenBSD’s cal already has them right).
