No, as the X server doens't have to setup the hardware.

Font path: you can use xset +fp ... in your startup scripts.
Resolution: the hardware is setup by the openfirmware, from what
I remember one can set the resolution at the OFW prompt.
http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/sparc/ has informations about this,
or pointers to the appropriate documentation.
Depth: I think if the video hardware supports something else than 8bits,
and the driver supports it, it should switch to 24bit automatically.
