I'm one of them "very active Japanese FreeBSD users", I guess. :)
Yes, it's very easy to use Japanese as long as you are running X11,
and Korean shouldn't be too far behind. I recommend you try
/usr/ports/editors/mule, it is a version of emacs with multilingual
support. It should at least display Korean fine, and you can use
quail to input Hangul (dunno about Hanji though).
What we are lacking are volunteers to make Korean ports (the same
apply to Chinese too). Any takers?
