It's already enabled in my configuration:
# VESA framebuffer console
options         KVM86                   # required for vesabios
vesabios*       at vesabiosbus?
vesafb*         at vesabios?
options         VESAFB_WIDTH=640
options         VESAFB_HEIGHT=480
options         VESAFB_DEPTH=8
options         VESAFB_PM               # power management support
wsdisplay*      at vesafb? console ?

and here is what dmesg says:
vesabios0 at mainbus0: version 3.0, (C) 1988-2005, ATI Technologies Inc.
 M54CSP
vesafb0 at vesabios0: VESA frame buffer
vesafb0: fb 640x480x8 @0xd8000000
vesafb0: VBE/PM 1.0 [off]
wsdisplay0 at vesafb0 kbdmux 1: console (fb, vt100 emulation)
