The console will not show UTF-8 filenames, though they are stored normally.
If you use X, then doing something along the line of export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
before startx will allow you to see the filenames normally from an X
terminal.
You will still be able to see the filenames when connected via ssh from
a terminal program that supports UTF8 (like e.g. Putty from a Windows
machine or an xterm from a Linux or other BSD machine). AFAIK there is
no way to see them directly from FreeBSD's text console.
