My system reports:

#  grep console /var/run/dmesg.boot
wsdisplay0 at intelfb0 kbdmux 1: console (default, vt100 emulation)
wskbd0 at ukbd0: console keyboard, using wsdisplay0
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Even though I have a pckbc and pckbd configured, and it finds a pckbc0 
device, my system never attaches a pckbd:

# config -x | grep -e PCKB -e pckb
# don't attach pckbd as the console if no PS/2 keyboard is found
options         PCKBD_CNATTACH_MAY_FAIL
pckbc0          at isa?                 # pc keyboard controller
pckbd*          at pckbc?               # PC keyboard
wskbd*          at pckbd? console ?
pms*            at pckbc?               # PS/2 mouse for wsmouse
# grep pckb /var/run/dmesg.boot
pckbc0 at isa0 port 0x60-0x64
