No, it has nothing to do with syscons(4).  acpi_video(4) does.
However, it does not work with i915kms.ko because some piece of code
is not implemented for FreeBSD if I understand it correctly.

It worked with DRM1 because automatic VT-switching (aka sysctl
hw.syscons.sc_no_suspend_vtswitch) indirectly saves/restores GPU
states via X11 driver, which is no longer possible with KMS.

If KMS is used for newcons backend, I am sure text mode won't be
implemented.  Also, KMS will "naturally" handle suspend/resume as it
is a proper newbus driver, unlike syscons.  At least, that's the idea.
