Django's trunk handles UTF-8-encoded data and unicode data transparently in email (see [1] for some early evidence of this). [1] http://flickr.com/photos/malcolmtredinnick/503502258/ If you are asking whether you can do it with Python's raw mail handling libraries, then, obviously, "yes" (since Django does it) and you could look at how Django's source does it for some clues.
