Normally, Linux on x86 (and x86-64) puts the graphics card in text mode when it isn't running X. Framebuffers put the graphics card in graphics mode and emulate text mode. This allows for higher resolution consoles, pictures of penguins at bootup, and allows X to run on otherwise unsupported hardware. Vesafb uses the VESA Bios Extensions (which were a standard way of getting extra video resolutions towards the end of the era of DOS gaming), which means that it will work with nearly anything made in the past five years. So, if X is working fine (or you don't care about X), and if you're happy with your text-mode console appearance (or you don't care about text-mode consoles), then no, there's nothing to worry about. You might care to take a look at your /boot/grub/grub.conf file and take out any mentions of vesafb.
