It's possible to enable CONFIG_FBCON_MAC on !m68k and after your change
the compilation breaks on i386 with the following error:

Hmmm... I didn't realize vesafb can use fbcon-mac.

However, it seems to be used if you don't enable any of the fbcon-cfb* modules
only, since fbcon-cfb* takes precendence.

Do people really use 6x11 fonts with vesafb?
