ucom0 device file not being created in 6.0

[Dewey Hylton]

with appropriate kernel modules loaded, and plugging my lg vx8100 phone into my
laptop via usb:

freebsd54 - dmesg shows ucom0 reference, /dev/ucom0 is created and is functions
with ppp.

freebsd60 - dmesg shows ucom0 reference, no device file is created. creating one
manually does not work (fails to create in /dev, creates but is non-functional
outside /dev).

i've been unable to figure out where the problem lies, and have had no luck
googling either. am i missing something simple, or has support somehow become
missing or broken between 5.x and 6?
