Try the following lines in /etc/rc.conf:

font8x8="iso1-8x8"
font8x14="iso1-8x14"
font8x16="iso1-8x16"
keymap="danish.iso"

Also, set the environment variable LC_CTYPE to da_DK.ISO8859-1.
That should do it.

(Change 1 to 15 in the above examples if you want Euro-currency-char 
support.)

Hope this helps,
