I commented out the following lines

ttyv0   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         cons25  on  secure
# Virtual terminals
ttyv1   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         cons25  on  secure
ttyv2   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         cons25  on  secure
ttyv3   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         cons25  on  secure
# ttyv4 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         cons25  on  secure
# ttyv5 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         cons25  on  secure
# ttyv6 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         cons25  on  secure
# ttyv7 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         cons25  on  secure


and they still respawn themselves.
