Debian has an easy line in /etc/default/console-setup. The default is now utf8 but there's lots more. I have it latin1.
In that case I stand corrected: some people are stull using non-UTF-8 Linux consoles. I don't know of any convenient programmatic way for Emacs to determine whether the console is in UTF-8 output mode, though. (I can think of complicated ways, involving outputting bytes to the screen and seeing what happens to the cursor position; but this would be destructive to the screen contents.) I agree Emacs shouldn't be changing the mode.
