| I recently started playing with Mac OS X, which allows Unicode (UTF-8,
| AFAIK) in its path names.  Because I'm also using my trusty FreeBSD box,
| I'm wondering if there's any reason to worry about compatibility.  So,
| is FreeBSD totally 8-bit clean or are there some tarpits I should avoid?

Yes, FFS works cleanly with 8-bit except for the "/" character. 
The userland tools are a totally different thing though...
