We had this question earlier this week. Mac OS X uses the locales from
FreeBSD, and neither support UTF-8 collation at all. You'll see exactly
the same results from other UNIX utilities.

Sometime in the near future (hopefully) PostgreSQL will provide locale
support independant of the underlying operating system, but for now
you're stuck.

Have a nice day,
