Have you tried the official instructions on 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound-setup.html  
?
You'll see that FreeBSD 5.0 and later do not need to use MAKEDEV, 
because devfs(5) automatically creates device nodes.

I don't know if this helps you much further, but now you know you don't 
have to worry about MAKEDEV.
