There are many drivers that do text display on a graphics framebuffer
without using any "native" text support. The one I'm most familiar
with is the driver for the DEC TGA card in sys/dev/pci/tga.c. It makes
use of the rasops and wsfont subsystems (in dev/rasops and dev/wsfont)
to draw directly on the framebuffer for a text console, using some of
the card's accelleration abilities.

Other drivers that do similar stuff include:

dev/ic/igsfb.c
dev/pci/machfb.c
dev/sun/fb.c with RASTERCONSOLE enabled
dev/tc/cfb.c
dev/tc/mfb.c
dev/tc/sfb.c
dev/tc/sfbplus.c
dev/tc/tfb.c
dev/tc/xcfb.c
arch/acorn26/vidc/arcvideo.c
arch/arm/iomd/vidcvideo.c
arch/arm/xscale/pxa2x0_lcd.c
arch/dreamcast/dev/pvr.c
arch/macppc/dev/ofb.c
arch/newsmips/apbus/xafb.c
