I believe most of those sorts of enhancements would be provided by the 
applications or desktop environment. Gnome or KDE should have similar 
language support regardless of OS. However, you may have to enable 
language-specific features when building each port - run 'make config' 
before building to be sure there aren't any optional but disabled 
options related to language support.

There are also language specific ports of some applications - check the 
ports tree in /usr/ports/chinese/ for information (after installing).
