Basically remove ofw_console, sab and zs from your kernel config file
and add creator, KBD_INSTALL_CDEV, sc, puc and uart instead. Before
booting the new kernel enable ttyvX in /etc/ttys and make sure the
input-device and output-device Open Firmware system config parameters
are set to keyboard and screen respectively. For moused_type in
/etc/rc.conf use "mousesystems" and for moused_port "/dev/uart3" in
FreeBSD 5, "/dev/cuau3" in -current.

As mentioned earlier I don't think the keyboard will work with Xorg
6.8.1 which uses the "kbd" driver by default. You would have to compile
6.8.1 manually with the old "keyboard" driver (disabled by default) 
or add support for Sun keyboards to the FreeBSD specific part of the
"kbd" driver. The xorg-server-6.7.0_9 port however still used the
"keyboard" driver by default and should work out of the box with the
mentioned config file.
