No, biblatex works on the formating part, i.e. you no longer have to
hack BST files in reverse polish notation in order to achive certain
effects.
CrossTeX http://www.cs.cornell.edu/People/egs/crosstex/ might be a
possibility, but I haven't tried it myself. I do remember though that
there has been a discussion on comp.text.tex during the last half year
or so about utf8 and BibTeX. A search on groups.google.com might be
useful.
