I think that *is* the case right now.  pg_wchar.h sayeth:
       /* followings are for client encoding only */       PG_SJIS,                                        /* Shift
JIS
(Winindows-932) */       PG_BIG5,                                        /* Big5 (Windows-950) */       PG_GBK,
                               /* GBK (Windows-936) */
