I have a screen session running and keep all the bhyves running in it ...

  # screen -S bhyve
  # cd /vms/system1
  # ./vmrun.sh system1
  # <detach or create new screen for another vm>

I would prefer a serial console based scheme obviously where they could 
run completely headless.   Screen is nice because at least I have 
configurable scrollback and such.
