don't know for smbclient but for smbmount.
from the smbmount manual.

iocharset=<arg>
       sets  the charset used by the Linux side for codepage to charset
       translations (NLS). Argument should be the name  of  a  charset,
       like iso8859-1. (Note: only kernel 2.4.0 or later)

codepage=<arg>
       sets  the  codepage  the  server uses. See the iocharset option.
       Example value cp850. (Note: only kernel 2.4.0 or later)

so you would use

#mount -t smbfs -o codepage=cp932,iocharset=utf8

I got this from the Japanese samba mailing list but there example used
