Look at the PCVT utilities in the kernel source distribution,
/sys/arch/i386/isa/pcvt/Util/cursor/*
The cursor program will let you change the cursors on the fly. There
should be directions in /sys/arch/i386/isa/pcvt/Util on how to compile
the utilities. I set the cursor size on my machine at home at every
boot; I'll mail you the stuff I have in my /etc/rc files.

If you're using X11, this will happen by default (look at the X
screensaver options with 'xset q'). I don't know offhand how to do it
for text mode consoles, sorry.
