You can use fbgs from fbida package to see pdf's, and a browser like w3m-graphics or links-g. And yes, it is possible.
mplayer also has a fb output plugin
I'm not quite sure where it is, but if you have the time to search, there is a thread on the arch bbs about doing exactly what you want. (...)
Thanks for all tips.
I'm also concerned about the terminal itself. Unicode is important to me, and today I use 'mlterm' with 'Liberation' font. Can I get the same with a framebuffer terminal?

If by same you mean getting unicode on a virtual console, then yes its possible. I think the lat2-16.psfu.gz font (which you can set in your rc.conf) is unicode. Gerald Otter
