This may be really really stupid, but for Mac minis that have no serial ports listed in their dmesg (e.g: http://erdelynet.com/tech/openbsd/openbsd-on-intel-mac-mini/) could you use a USB-Serial adapter and place that directive in /etc/boot.conf to redirect the console output? Nowt about that in boot.conf's man page:

set [varname [value]]
..
..
            tty      Active console device name (e.g., com0, com1, pc0).


I see that there are several mac mini colo outfits, such as http://www.mythic-beasts.com/macminicolo.html, and a remote console is a very handy thing to have.
