As far as I know, there is no support for that. I know the application
you're familiar with under Linux. The integration of the wsconsole system
would make this type of project easier now, but I haven't seen a great
deal of demand for it.

For NetBSD it's important to be very consistent across platforms - and
while the i386 allows random display writes while in text mode, I'm
not sure the same is true for all platforms. For example, I don't think
we could provide console mouse on Sun3, Sparc, or any platform with
serial console only...
