No. You have to choose a locale name that is supported by your operating system (which appears to be FreeBSD). Read your OS documentation for what valid locale names are; most likely, "en_US" or "en_US.ISO-8859-1" are supported.
also my second question. once i have this working how do i set the thousands_sep character to be a "," ?
You don't directly set it. It is a property of the locale.

something strange is happening, no matter what i try nothing is a supported locale
and yes it's freebsd 4.10
