Change the runlevel field in inittab for mgetty to 3 (for example) and
make sure that everything else runs in both 2 and 3, then you can go

telinit 2

to kill mgetty and

telinit 3

to start mgetty

Probably not quite what you were after, but it's what sysvinit was
designed around, and will work on all distros and probably all sysvinit
based OSs.  I don't think there is a utility that will do exactly what you
want, but you could probably script one up.
