I assume you mean for the i386 port, in which case you want
options	PCVT_NETBSD="120"
and
#pc0    at isa? port 0x60 irq 1         # generic PC console device
vt0     at isa? port 0x60 irq 1
in your kernel configuration.
cd /dev
MAKEDEV /dev/ttyvX
where X=0 to 7 (the default number of virtual consoles is 8)
cd /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/isa/pcvt
more README.FIRST
cd Util
make && make install

Add to /etc/ttys
ttyvX   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         pc3     on secure
where again X=0 to 7
After all that, ctrl-alt-f1 etc. will give you your virtual consoles.

Good luck!
