I think you are misinformed.  With pgsql 8.3:

smarlowe=# show lc_collate ;
 lc_collate
-------------
 en_US.UTF-8

 \l
        List of databases
   Name    |  Owner   | Encoding
-----------+----------+----------
 postgres  | postgres | UTF8
 smarlowe  | smarlowe | UTF8

create database test with encoding 'SQL_ASCII';
 \l
        List of databases
   Name    |  Owner   | Encoding
-----------+----------+-----------
 postgres  | postgres | UTF8
 smarlowe  | smarlowe | UTF8
 test      | smarlowe | SQL_ASCII
