Yes.  Now that Lennart has added wsmouse support to our X tree, it should
be possible to run X w/ the PCVT and RAWKBD emulations enabled in wscons.

Normal wscons support in X is forthcoming.

wscons, of course, gives us _fantastic_ VT100 emulation (very nice work,
Matthias!), virtual terminals, etc.  Also, wscons will enable use of USB
input devices (very nice work, Lennart!).
