Just to confirm, it does look like there's a discrepancy between what
is in the documentation and the actual behavior of the server. The
documentation indicates that SJIS is a valid server encoding:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/interactive/
multibyte.html#MULTIBYTE-CHARSET-SUPPORTED

I just tried to create a database with SJIS encoding using the
various aliases listed and was unable to do so:

grzm$ createdb shift_jis --encoding SJIS
createdb: database creation failed: ERROR:  SJIS is not a valid
encoding name
grzm$ createdb shift_jis --encoding SHIFT_JIS
createdb: database creation failed: ERROR:  SHIFT_JIS is not a valid
encoding name
grzm$ createdb shift_jis --encoding Mskanji
createdb: database creation failed: ERROR:  Mskanji is not a valid
encoding name
grzm$ createdb shift_jis --encoding WIN932
createdb: database creation failed: ERROR:  WIN932 is not a valid
encoding name
grzm$ createdb shift_jis --encoding Windows932
createdb: database creation failed: ERROR:  Windows932 is not a valid
encoding name
grzm$ psql postgres
