You can, by using RASTERCONSOLE and setting the RASTERCONSOLE_*COL
options. From the GENERIC config:
## Use a faster console than the PROM's slow drawing routines. Not needed
## for headless (no framebuffer) machines.
options RASTERCONSOLE # fast rasterop console
options FONT_GALLANT12x22 # the console font
#options FONT_BOLD8x16 # a somewhat smaller font
## default console colors: black-on-white; this can be changed
## using the following two options.
#options RASTERCONSOLE_FGCOL=WSCOL_BLACK
#options RASTERCONSOLE_BGCOL=WSCOL_WHITE
