Isn't it enough something like that:

console ... -d vga font=10x20 max-colors=256 -d dpms standby=vga-standby 
standby-timeout=400 off=vga-off ...

(I know there is no dpms driver -- it's just an example.)

This could allow Guile configuration too.

This breaks the /dev/vcs argument so it should become option (with 
/dev/vcs as default?).

To get help for driver:

console -d vga help
