is there a way to have a freebsd system with file names with

UFS supports 8-bit characters except for "/" and "\0", but you also
need to run a terminal with UTF8 support and use a correct font to
view such things. Perhaps this might give you some insight:

Note that other file systems have more comprehensive Unicode support:

Perhaps I'm biased, but I've long been of the opinion that the Mac
platform with HFS+ has very good internationalization support.
