  NO. It depends on your hardware setup. Eg. if you have a CV64, its
  enabled and if you have the CV64 support in your kernel, NetBSD/amiga
  will use the CV64 as console device. Read your boot message more
  carefully ;-)

  You must add a line in rc.local (?) that loads this file. With 1.5
  this line is already present but commented if my memory serves me
  right. INSTALL.X11 explains what todo with a modes file.

  /usr/src/sys/arch/amiga/dev/grf??.c

  Choose the correct one (every source has comments on top, thus you
  should be able to identify the right one)
