I don't know.  Have you tried not using the special vtty for the X 
server?  Looking at your /etc/ttys, it looks like the default one 
supplied...

My /etc/ttys has many more entries, like...

ttyv1	"/usr/libexec/getty Pc"		cons25 on secure
...
ttyvf	"/usr/libexec/getty Pc"		cons25 on secure

for a total of 15 virtual terminals.  You don't need a virtual a virtual 
terminal specially configured for X as you have.  I'd guess that your 
first problem is that you don't have ttyv10 configured.  You have to (as 
root), 

cd /dev
./MAKEDEV ttyva

Your other obvious problem is that there is no such thing as ttyv10.  The 
numbering should go like this....

ttyv0
ttyv1
ttyv2
ttyv3
...
ttyv9
ttyva
ttyvb
...
ttyvf


You should usually keep questions@freebsd.org in the Cc: list so that 
when I lie about how to fix your problem, they can yell at me to remind 
me that I'm wrong (or, more likeily, so that when I don't know the 
answer, someone else can answer.  Or better yet, for faster turnaround.)
