from the command line?

You need a GUI anyway, is using QuickSilver not an option? See also: Quicksilver Large Type – slhck Jan 22 at 1:32
Address Book's AppleScript dictionary does not support this functionality directly. – Daniel Beck Jan 23 at 9:52

You can use Growl to display your text as a notification. You can use Growl's AppleScript API as described here using osascript from the command line to specify a specific display style.

Growl display styles are basically HTML and CSS, so you can easily create your own and customize its look to be "large type" instead of a regular notification. Check out some third party styles for inspiration.
