The method used to load a 80x50 font does not use a VESA VBE framebuffer, in fact.. unless you set this mode, OpenBSD doesn't play with VGA mode settings at all.
Both FreeBSD and NetBSD have framebuffer consoles available now, but it is not a priority within the OpenBSD community.. this doesn't mean to say no code exists in the tree yet, because some does.. but it's not ready for public consumption.
If the 80x50 mode does not look adequate on your monitor, use the default.. if even that isn't acceptable.. it might be worth considering Xorg+xterm and a readable font.
