Dunno about serials, but to get info on which hardware is installed,
you'll probably need these:

cat /var/run/dmesg.boot (generic info on devices and drivers attached)
pciconf -lv (for pci devices)
usbdevs -v (for usb devices)
atacontrol list (for ata devices)

There are some more specific utilities. For example,
ports/sysutils/dmidecode is somewhat useful.
