Not yet - the kernel side of virtual consoles just integrated, the X server
changes required are still being worked on.   A prototype is available from

"svcadm disable gdm" will kill the X server & login session/gui and return you
to the kernel console.

This is caused in part by by bug 4887: gdm errors upon shutdown or restart

Brian posted instructions on how to fix it yourself at:

if you don't want to wait for a build with the fix in.

Choose the "text mode" boot option in grub, or edit your grub menu to remove
the splashimage line and the ",console=graphics" section from the kernel line.
