Assuming you mean transparent as in magic menu, etc, no matter what graphics card you have, there is nothing in the graphics.library to support this kind of transparency directly, so no hardware acceleration. As far as I am aware, all transparent gimmicks on amigaos currently work by grabbing the hidden area and then doing the transparency in software and writing it back. In other words it's a CPU hog. It's also not realtime because of the calculation overhead (only recalculated when you move or resize). If something changes behind your window, you won't see it happen.
Anyway a transparent console would be confusing if it overlayed stuff with a lot of text on it already :-)
Transparency is kind of a pain. On OSX you can make the terminal windows transparent, but it's a total pain to use because you see all the crap behind the terminal, making it hard to read.
