 Can you be more specific? It's in GENERIC since r221743 (2011-05-10).
 
   $ fgrep -i pixel /usr/src/sys/{i386,amd64}/conf/GENERIC
   /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC:options        SC_PIXEL_MODE   # add support for the raster text mode
   /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/GENERIC:options       SC_PIXEL_MODE   # add support for the raster text mode
 
 And more graphic modes are available after kldload'ing vesa.ko.
