I usually kill init with a SIGHUP after editing /etc/ttys and it has so
far never caused me any trouble.
Actually this is also explained in the init(8) manpage:
Line status (on, off, secure, getty, or window information) may be
changed in the ttys(5) file without a reboot by sending the signal SIGHUP
to init with the command ``kill -HUP 1''. On receipt of this signal,
init re-reads the ttys(5) file.
