You can do this. For most european languages you just need add something 
like this

Option      "XkbLayout" "us,ru"
Option      "XkbOptions" "grp:ctrl_shift_toggle,grp:switch"

to your xorg.conf

For Japanese/Chinese/Korean you need to install "input method", for example
/usr/ports/japanese/kinput2-canna+wnn7 for Japanese
or
/usr/ports/chinese/miniChinput for Chinese (I have not tried this)

You can look to other ports in chinese/ or japanese/ for more info.
