"serial console" FreeBSD
on Google (good source!) brought up this link on www.freebsd.org (even 
better source):

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/serialconsole-setup.html

You might also want to have a look at "dcons".

You also might want to check /etc/syslog.conf and syslog.conf(5) 
manpage.
