You can try
echo "control keycode 53 = Control_underscore" | loadkeys
as root to assign keysymbol 0x1f to the Ctrl-/ combination on the text
console, assuming that / has keycode 53 on your system, which you can
verify with "showkey -k".
I have no idea how this modification interacts with emacs, but it should
ensure the same behavior on text consoles as in gnome terminal, which
seems to be what you want to achieve if I understand you correctly.
