Yes. pkgsrc/print/a2ps.

The name of binary package is designated by DISTNAME or PKGNAME
variable in their Makefile.

japanese/a2ps
Makefile:
DISTNAME= a2ps.pl-1.44
PKGNAME= ja-a2ps-1.44
% make package
===> Building package for ja-a2ps-1.44
Creating package /usr/pkgsrc/packages/All/ja-a2ps-1.44.tgz
print/a2ps
Makefile:
DISTNAME= a2ps-4.10.3
% make package
===> Building package for a2ps-4.10.3
Creating package /usr/pkgsrc/packages/All/a2ps-4.10.3.tgz
Registering depends: papersize-1.0 perl-5.00404.
Creating gzip'd tar ball in '/usr/pkgsrc/packages/All/a2ps-4.10.3.tgz'
There is no problem.
Apart from that,
'japanese/ja-a2ps' should be renamed to 'japanese/a2ps.pl'...
