I did that. For localedef it hasn't an entry. But for locale it has one.
I don't think that's what you expectet (it seems to belong to perl)

NAME
locale - Perl pragma to use and avoid POSIX locales for
built-in operations
SYNOPSIS
@x = sort @y; # ASCII sorting order
{
use locale;
@x = sort @y; # Locale-defined sorting order
}
@x = sort @y; # ASCII sorting order again
DESCRIPTION
This pragma tells the compiler to enable (or disable) the
use of POSIX locales for built-in operations (LC_CTYPE for
regular expressions, and LC_COLLATE for string compari-
son). Each "use locale" or "no locale" affects statements
to the end of the enclosing BLOCK.
See the perllocale manpage for more detailed information
on how Perl supports locales.

Perhaps this information helps you to help me further:
Mac OS X is based on FreeBSD 3.0 (AFAIR).
