There is a RedHat 6.0-J Beta available for download somewhere. 
I was able to "Japanize" my RH 6.0-English thanks to Laser 5's
Kubota-san, who had sent us the alpha versions of the Japanese
packages.

First of all, you need double-byte support on top of glibc.
Look for a RPM with the "wcsmbs-locale". Then install an input
method (I use Canna) and localized versions of XFree86. I'm not
sure if it's all, but here's a short list of what I have in
my machine:

Canna-3.5b2-19

VFlib-2.24.0-5
