framebuffer support basically lets the kernel draw to the console, as a graphical area (rather than just displaying ascii text with the VGA text mode that most PC hardware has). I'm going to guess that freebsd has support for such things; simply because Linux has had it for quite some time, and NetBSD certainly does (need it to support some architectures).
