The wscons changes are mostly other drivers growing wsdisplay support  
- - cgsix(4) had it since NetBSD 3.0 or earlier ( when sparc64 switched  
to wscons ), you can just build a wscons kernel which will support  
your CG6 with the netbsd-5 sources. At least as long as the CG6 is an  
SBus device - I'm not sure when the cgsix at obio code was fixed.

have fun
