The old Gtk+ 1.2 needs explicit configuration for UTF-8. Install 
fonts/efont-unicode from pkgsrc and put the following into your ~/.gtkrc:

style "user-font"
{
	fontset="-efont-*-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-*"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"

And use an UTF-8 locale. Older NetBSD versions had only en_US.UTF-8. Run
locale -a to see which locales are available.
