I do not know if other netbsd folks would agree with wscons support for it, but I beleive that it would be much easier to have wscons optionally support gpm/moused-like behavior, as it handles the virtual consoles already imho, and has wsmouse... it would also allow to internally use the mouse data, before exporting it to /dev/wscons, which would elimitate gpm/X11 conflicts that seem to occur on other systems, where gpm has to be configured to copy the mouse data it reads to a fifo file, which X11 then uses...
