I use text console mode with loading national codepage font. I don't
touch sc->cursor_char directly, I only use 'vidcontrol -M' to move range
start to 0x03 since 0xd0-0xd3 and 0xd4 are valid characters in my
codepage. Loading font and changing mousechar start are both through
rc.conf variables:

font8x14="cp866-8x14"
font8x16="cp866b-8x16"
font8x8="cp866-8x8"
mousechar_start="3"

If you mean just cursor, I have it (even not block but underline
cursor). It is not strictly char (i.e. text cursor), but emulation of it
via loaded font change on the fly. Via rc.conf variable too:

cursor="destructive"
