You might be able to do it more permanently with /etc/rc.conf;
I changed all my ttys with:

font8x16="/usr/share/syscons/fonts/iso15-thin-8x16.fnt"
font8x8="/usr/share/syscons/fonts/cp437-thin-8x8.fnt"
allscreens_flags="132x43"

Plus, to support the "132", I kludged /etc/rc.syscons to do:
    kldload vesa

There's also some font stuff in LINT, but it's probably no use.
