More or less, yes. The discussion mentioned above was about setting '*VT100*locale' resource to true, but if you write a lxterm wrapper this is a different story, You can get the value returned by 'locale charmap', call uxterm when UTF-8, koi8rxterm when KOI8-R and xterm otherwise, this should work just fine.
