Hm, but the locales are there, it's just named de_DE.UTF-8 instead of
de_DE.utf8 on FreeBSD. InitDB crashs with the following:
[pgsql@kirk pgsql]$initdb --locale=de_DE.UTF-8
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "pgsql".
This user must also own the server process.
The database cluster will be initialized with locale de_DE.UTF-8.
The default database encoding has accordingly been set to UNICODE.
