There is a /dev/MAKEDEV in OpenBSD, and googling around for "makedev freebsd" returns results that make me think it is supposed to be there. Was it possibly deleted?
BTW: I love this list. I didn't know much about MAKEDEV and mknod until reading the exchange between Mat and Abbott. A quick trip to man and info pages and now I understand what MAKEDEV is (a script that calls mknod to build special files, like for hardware devices such as floppy drives). Mat, thanks for asking that. Abbott, thanks for being a smartass. ;) Thanks be to Xenu for free software!!!
