I just removed the line telling kernel not to go to single user mode:
options        MEMORY_RBFLAGS=0        # don't force single user
Still, booting in multiuser with login prompt works fine, I get both serial and screen console. 
Screen is taken care of by wscons, console which is set to com0 is taken care of by getty.
What I dont understand is why I get login prompt in screen console in single user mode with wscons and getty started with e.g /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyE1 ?
Is hacking getty not to print out login: in single user mode and instead execute /bin/sh the only way to get that work ?
Maybe it'd be a good idea to add single user mode to getty? That way one could support console and screen without login.

AFAIR /etc/ttys is not used in single user mode so one needs to run stuff manually.
I ran: /bin/sh /sysinst Pc ttyE1 vt100

That gave me some kind of loop: 
init: Creating mfs /dev (412 blocks, 1024 inodes)
wsdisplay0: screen 1 added (80x25, vt100 emulation)
wsconscfg: WSMUX_ADD_DEVICE: Device not configured
# stty: TIOCGETD: Operation not supported
wsconscfg: screen 1 is already configured
wsconscfg: WSMUX_ADD_DEVICE: Device not configured

but running /usr/libexec/getty Pc ttyE1 vt220 works fine, except it sends me then to login: ...
