According to /usr/doc/kbd/README.consolefonts :
A DOS-hosted PSF font editor is available on eecs.nwu.edu.
[no further details of it are provided]
The format of console font files (fairly simple) is documented in
/usr/doc/kbd/README.psf .
Probably your best bet is to write a converter from a standard X font format
to psf, and use "xmbdfed" to construct your fonts.
Another option might be to try to port the "fontedit" from FreeBSD
(<FreeBSD-mirror>/FreeBSD-CVS/src/usr/sbin/pcvt/).
HTH,
