No.  vt03 is an OS-independent Xserver command line option that means
use VT or VC number 3, not the name of a device.  It actually translates
to /dev/ttyv2 on FreeBSD.  It should be vt04 because ttyv3 is the fourth
VC (and the one activated with the F4 key -- which is the common factor
used to determine the mappings on different OSs).
