There are a couple things you can try:

Run the 'screen' program on the console, either on login or as the user.
You can then attach to the screen by logging in over ssh, say, then typing
"screen -x ###" where ### is the session to attach.

If you just want to see what's on the console, you can cat out the
/dev/vcs# entries. You'll need to parse it slightly (add lines breaks) but
otherwise will show what's on the console.

There's also another program called something like kibbutz or kibbitz that
lets you share a session. I can't seem to locate more information though,
but Googling may reveal more.
