No, it is not.  If you'll read the README that Ken mentioned, 8-bit mode
will only allow you to use StaticGray (i.e. grayscale), not color, if you
are using internal video.

Color video only works if you are using 16-bit color (since 32-bit isn't
supported quite yet).  If you can do 16-bit color, it should be as simple
as setting your monitor to 16-bit color before you boot (making sure that
the Booter _doesn't_ automatically switch you to a lower resolution) and
then start X from withing NetBSD.

Later.
