​Yes. Go to src/compiler/alpha/parms.lisp and add something like

​
 (defconstant char-bits #-unicode 8 #+unicode 16
  "Number of bits needed to represent a character")

(defconstant char-bytes (truncate char-bits byte-bits)
  "Number of bytes needed to represent a character")

​Look at x86/parms.lisp or sparc/parms.lisp for more info.
