Any FreeBSD developers out there working on a Framebuffer driver  
which provides modern high resolution modes (including widescreen)  
for the system console?

Amd64 platform currently has no options to change the primitive 80x25  
mode text console as VESA is not supported.

Mac OS X uses native display resolutions as soon as the machine is  
powered on.

Linux supports a Framebuffer driver for native LCD resolution at the  
console

OpenSolaris uses a Framebuffer driver which immediately detects  
screen resolution.
