No. console.h is the include file for the syscons console driver. If you
don't have it, there are 2 possibilities:
1. install the one that is provided in
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/etc
2. Change XFree86ConsoleDefines in xf86site.def to remove
-DSYSCONS_SUPPORT.

Here you are right. If SYSCONS_SUPPORT is not defined and PCVT_SUPPORT
is defined, pcvt_ioctl.h is needed. And it doesn't get installed in
NetBSD. Just add it, and send a PR to NetBSD.
In the mean time, I will add it to the XFree86 distribution in the
same way as console.h and ioctl_pc.h.
