Aha! I didn't know about 'vidcontrol -C'
That combined with 'clear' does the trick.

However...
Is there any way I could have this execute when the "login:" prompt
displays, rather than having each user need to do it themselves?

In other words, I want this clearing to happen for all users
regardless of shell, etc.

I haven't seen anything in login(1) or login.conf(5) that allows this
kind of customization, but maybe I missed it...
