NetBSD has VESA framebuffer console support that's configurable. OpenBSD support for framebuffer console is more limited (only certain chipsets) and not configurable (to best of my knowledge which is not fully up to date); it's nice though when it's there.
Last time I checked (not that recently), there were differences between the two OSs in the capabilities of wsmoused(8), used on text consoles.
If you will be using binary packages for applications, you could check the repositories for available versions of the applications important to you. Are there significant differences?
Just some top of the head thoughts.
