Sure.  FreeBSD's default filesystem supports UTF8, but not arbitrary composition of Unicode characters.  If you want this to work better, you need to make sure that you use normalized UTF8 filenames and UTF8 URLs from Apache.

It's likely that a discussion of Unicode normalization would be helpful:

  http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr15/index.html

IBM's ICU (at http://site.icu-project.org/), or Apple's discussion of HFS normalization ("Unicode Normal Forms D", at http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#qa/qa2001/qa1235.html) would also be informative.
