No.

Yes, the #504842 clearly states:

The relevant gdm code seems to be in daemon/getvt.c, functions
get_free_vt_sys and get_free_vt_consio, wrapped by
gdm_get_empty_vt_argument. The difference between the two
implementations depends on the operating system:

 	/* Virtual terminals only supported on Linux, FreeBSD, DragonFly, or
 	 * Solaris */
 	#if defined (__linux__) || defined (__sun)
 	 /* Must check HAVE_SYS_VT since older Solaris doesn't support this. */
 	#ifdef HAVE_SYS_VT_H
 	#define GDM_USE_SYS_VT
 	#endif
 	#endif

 	#if defined (__FreeBSD__) || defined (__DragonFly__)
 	#define GDM_USE_CONSIO_VT
 	#endif



Please try to use the FreeBSD variant and guard it with

#defined (__FreeBSD__) || defined (__FreeBSD_kernel__)
