Off course.  This is already done for PKGNAMEs.  So only package
directory names need to be changed.

(Japanese language is used by non-Japanese people too... :-)

FreeWnn packages need the prefix, since FreeWnn can be used for
Chinese and Korean.  FreeBSD already has ch- and ko- packages in their
tree.

I think these don't need.

Kinput2 is only for Japanese, AFAIK.  So no prefix needed.

Agreed.

I think all of these don't need.

No need!

Hmm.  TeXfamily is the name of the distribution of a Japanised
TeX-related package.  There exists nearly no possibility to conflict
the name with the outer world...  I mean, TeXfamily doesn't need the
prefix.  People can know what it's used for by its categories
(e.g. "print japanese") and/or its COMMENT/DESCR.

Good point.

No need, IMO.
