If you've done an entire install, you'll have en_US.UTF-8 as a valid
desktop locale - use that, and then you'll be able to use cyrillic
script, along with a host of other scripts besides.  The method you use
to enable cyrillic input depends on your windowing system.

There's more detail at:

if you don't have any UTF-8 locales installed, use localeadm to add
them:
