boot the vm with

console="comconsole" in /boot/loader.conf
typing "set console=comconsole" at the boot prompt

and in the base machine connect the outgoing data from the emulated com1
to somewhere you can get to it..
you can hook it to a pty or /dev/nmdm0 (nullmodem) on FreeBSD but I don't
know how one would do it on other OSs.
