:) ok, I'll try to state more clearly..

I'd like to get my palm t5 to sync (using the 'hotsync' in the palm) 
over bluetooth, instead of serial cable, or even usb, using jpilot (or 
pilot-xfer which jpilot uses I believe).  pilot-xfer can use a serial 
port (/dev/something) or network (net:any for ip).

I was thinking that since my palm supports syncing over bluetooth (uses 
it like a serial port), I should be able to make my FreeBSD box connect 
the bluetooth to a pseudo tty device, which I could then have pilot-xfer 
use.  Does this seem reasonable?
