Yes.

Currently, using makeindex.sh script we just steal ISO-8859-1
characters from gallery/events.html and Changes/index.xml pages and put
them as is into UTF-8 encoded {ko,ru}/index.html files. This resulted
in following:

	http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.NetBSD.org%2Fko%2Findex.html
	http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.NetBSD.org%2Fru%2Findex.html

Another fix would be putting iconv(1) into our makeindex.sh script.
