how do I free up my console getty after boot

I have a soekris SBC with OpenBSD 3.9, configured so that
it boots with tty00 acting as serial console.
# cat /etc/boot.conf
stty com0 9600
set tty com0

That is fine, when I need to have access to the console to fix
something, but in an unattended reboot I want to free up the serial port
to use it with a GPS reference clock. So I need a way to disable the
getty once I have verified that I have access to the net. Killing it
is not useful as init respawns it.

I suppose I could unconfigure the console, and just use command line
boot arguments to enable when required, but if there is another
solution I would prefer it.

Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks
