It is at least possible ( I did exactly this some years ago on a IPX, when NetBSD 1.1 was brand new :-) )
The Xserver has a command line option that tells it what visual class to use - I used 'static gray' ( or something similar ) back then. That should feel 
like true color to most X11 clients. Sorry, I don't have access to that machine anymore so I can't check the exact syntax. Just read the man page :-)

have fun
