No.  Only the mono framebuffer is supported on the VAXstations 3100 and
2000, and the VT1300.  I believe others are occassionaly poking at the
color support, but I don't know of any definite plans to support it soon.

I don't think there are any provisions for it, but I think the suggestion
is a good one.  Is there any precedent for this sort of thing on the other
NetBSD ports?  (Allowing a choice of console font resolutions at either
boot time, or even kernel compile time).
