I think the 256 colors support in term/xterm.el is general enough to
support fbterm as well.  At least the following quick'n'dirty adaption
from term/linux.el seems to work for that (provided the terminfo stuff
is correctly installed, TERM is set to fbterm and the code below is
saved to term/fbterm.el somewhere in load-path).

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
;; -*- no-byte-compile: t -*-

(load "term/xterm")

(defun terminal-init-fbterm ()
  "Terminal initialization function for linux fbterm."
  (unless (terminal-coding-system)
    (set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8-unix))

  ;; It can't really display underlines.
  (tty-no-underline)

  (ignore-errors (when gpm-mouse-mode (require 't-mouse) (gpm-mouse-enable)))

  (xterm-register-default-colors))

;;; fbterm.el ends here
#+END_SRC
