Only with a patch. Do it at your own risk:
cd /usr/src
fetch http://www.alpha-tierchen.de/dateien/etc/vesa.patch.bz2
bzip2 -cd vesa.patch.bz2 | patch -p0
cd usr.sbin/vidcontrol
make && make install
cp etc/rc.d/moused /etc/rc.d
build your kernel with
options SC_PIXEL_MODE
options VESA
and reboot.
vidcontrol -i mode
will show all available modes. And so on. You know the rest.

I installed the patch, rebooted etc. Now
vidcontrol MODE_280 says:
vidcontrol: activating raster display: Operation not supported by device
Also, 'vidcontrol -g 100x37 VESA_800x600' no longer works. I now get
vidcontrol: obtaining new video mode parameters: Operation not supported
by device
So, does any one know what's going on? How can I undo the patch if I
need to?
thanks,
Bob
