Ok, I've checked my FreeBSD installations :-)

TERM=cons25 definitely works on my machines - in xterm *and* system console.

But in order to make it work on the system console, I had to change the default
console settings. Try adding this to your /etc/rc.conf:

saver="daemon"
blanktime="60"
font8x8="iso-8x8"
font8x14="iso-8x14"
font8x16="iso-8x16"
scrnmap="NO"

As you can guess, the screensaver ist the most important part ;-)
