Is it possible to instruct commands like `isearch-forward' in Emacs to
ignore diacritics?  For example so that searching for "galaxia" would
match strings like "galáxia".  (Mainly I'm using `helm-occur' and
`org-refile', both of which don't ignore diacritics.)

Yes, it's possible.

Read about "Lax Search" in the Emacs manual.

Yes:

    (setq search-default-mode 'char-fold-to-regexp)

Emacs manual info node tells about all that:

    (emacs) Lax Search

Thank you!  For reference I sent in an issue [1] to helm requesting an
option for having it enabled there as well.
