Have you tried doscmd that comes with FreeBSD? I normally recompile it
after X is installed because it works a lot better for me in its own
X window using the fonts in /usr/libdata/doscmd/fonts/

It works good enough for me to run the old topspeed C v3 compiler
that creates 16 bit 8086 code. Good for embedded 80186 stuff. :-)
