> How does one add a termcap entry if it wasn't a supplied terminal type?

Usually by adding it to ~/.termcap, unless you need it system-wide.

FWIW, I think a "linux" console entry should be added to the standard
FreeBSD termcap. I've needed it myself on occasion (but, fwiw, I don't
remember having to add the tc= references you apparently need).
