You can bind them via the keyboard remapping functions of syscons
(That's the default console driver... btw I tried pcvt based on the LINT
comments that made it sound like it was better, and found it quite
appalling in comparison.  Definitely stay with syscons).  Just look at
your the keyboard map you are loading (in /usr/share/syscons/kbd/* if I
remember well -- I'm not on my FreeBSD box at the moment), and at the
manpage for "keyboard" (and others that it refers to) for information on
keycodes.
