Yes, at last in 1.4 and 1.5 (don't remember for previous releases).
LC_CTYPE support is incomplete though (up to 1.5, it's OK in -current): there's
support in libc but only 'C' is here. You can install
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/i386/1.4-french/locale.tgz
(I'm not sure of '1.4-french' but there's 'french' in the directory name)
and then you can set LC_CTYPE to iso_8859_1 (don't worry about 'i386',
locale.tgz is machine independant).
