If I want to permanently change the permissions for a device, I
add en entry to /etc/devfs.conf. Right?
But that doesn't get picked up until the next time devd is
started. If I want to change the permissions right now, can I just
go into /dev and use chmod or do I need to fool

Depends. If the device is present when the system boots, yes. If it
shows up later (like a USB drive) then you need to set up some
/etc/devfs.rules instead.

In this case, it's lpt0/
That said, I've never had problems using chmod for temporary
