Only with a patch. Do it at your own risk:
cd /usr/src
fetch http://www.alpha-tierchen.de/dateien/etc/vesa.patch.bz2
bzip2 -cd vesa.patch.bz2 | patch -p0
cd usr.sbin/vidcontrol
make && make install
cp etc/rc.d/moused /etc/rc.d
build your kernel with
options SC_PIXEL_MODE
options VESA
and reboot.
vidcontrol -i mode
will show all available modes. And so on. You know the rest.
