Not OK.  The "vid" in vidcontrol means "video", not "vty".  The keyboard
functions were intentionally split off from the video functions when
vidcontrol(1) and kbdcontrol(1) were spawned from syscons(1).  Everything
may belong in syscons(1) again, but the interfaces should not be
gratuitously different from those in the utilities for other console
drivers.  pcvt already has enough gratuitous differences in its scon(1)
and kcon(1) utilities.
