Is macserial loaded?  

dmesg | grep tty 

should indicate your serial ports (this is an iMac)

[root@imac root]# modprobe macserial
[root@imac root]# dmesg | grep tty
tty00 at 0xc99bd020 (irq = 15) is a Z8530 ESCC (internal modem)
tty01 at 0xc99c4000 (irq = 16) is a Z8530 ESCC (IrDA)

the tty00 and tty01 are not the way they are addressed though, it's the
normal ttyS0, etc.
