-w is a very old wsconsctl option, the 4.3 manual definetely doesn't
mention it.
wsconsctl keyboard.encoding=us.dvorak is working here:
spaceman% wsconsctl keyboard.encoding=us.dvorak
keyboard.encoding -> us.dvorak
Of course this sets the layout for the console, not X. Some efforts were
made to make X recognize and use the layout used by wscons, however I
don't think it recognizes dvorak ATM, so you have to edit xorg.conf.
Here's what I'm using:
spaceman% cat /etc/kbdtype
us.dvorak.swapctrlcaps
spaceman% cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Xkb
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Option "XkbVariant" "dvorak"
Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps,compose:menu"
