Well, I'm not an Arch kernel guru, but I guess you mean adding fbcon to the MODULES="" line in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf so it would read:
MODULES="fbcon intel_agp i915"
and then rebuilding with
mkinitcpio -p kernel26
I'll give it a shot and report back....
Nope:
==> Building image "default" ==> Running command: /sbin/mkinitcpio -k 2.6.31-ARCH -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf - g /boot/kernel26.img :: Begin build ERROR: module 'fbcon' not found <snip>

Back to the drawing board....
-- If fbcon is built-in to the kernel then it wouldn't be found as a module.
